Technological notes

This formulation has a lower cocoa liquor ratio and higher sugar content than adult-oriented milk chocolates, producing a sweeter, less bitter taste suitable for children. Production follows standard milk chocolate technology: mixing, refining, conching at 50–60 °C, and tempering. The chocolate bar typically features a decorative mold design depicting the fairy tale horse character.
