Chocolate Santa orange – 70g

Orange chocolate Santa Claus by Fesey Schokoladenfiguren

The orange chocolate Santa Claus by Fesey Schokoladenfiguren is wrapped in a warm apricot hue with a golden touch, sitting somewhere between mandarin and amber. Beneath the solid-colored foil lies a hollow-molded milk chocolate figure, with no print and no painted-on face.

Orange chocolate Santa Claus is the figure from Fesey Schokoladenfiguren that you can hand out to a whole group of children without a second thought: 70 grams of milk chocolate with at least 37 percent cocoa content, molded and wrapped in Riemerling near Munich.

Orange is the color of mandarins in December, and this coincidence is quite fitting here. Anyone looking for something larger for the gift table will find it in the 125-gram orange Santa Claus.

The color children reach for first

On an Advent plate among nuts and fruits, the apricot shade stands out less than a rich red, yet it is still the first to be taken. Children reach for the tone they already recognize, and it is indeed sitting right there in the fruit bowl. Next to a real mandarin on the same plate, the difference in tone only becomes truly visible.

The orange is bright, warm, and slightly golden; it is not garish, and certainly has nothing to do with Halloween. The light breaks on the folds and creates brighter edges, while the recesses slip into a coppery tone. On white porcelain, this gives the figure a more three-dimensional look than any darker shade in the range. If you turn it in the light, you can see the gold in the folds flash briefly and then disappear again.

Mild milk chocolate for little eaters

The chocolate underneath remains milky and gently sweet, without a bitter edge at the finish. The thin shell gives way at room temperature, causing a piece to melt on the tongue before chewing even begins. A child can finish the portion in an afternoon; two can share it without any major arguments.

In kindergarten, at the sports club, and in the neighborhood, many small gifts are exchanged in December, and seventy grams is the perfect size for this. No additional packaging is needed, as the foil is already the packaging. Twelve pieces side-by-side in a box weigh less than a kilogram in total and can be distributed in minutes.

Why the mixture flows into every fold

In the ingredient list, an emulsifier made of soy lecithin follows the sweet whey powder, and it has a practical purpose. It keeps the warm mixture fluid so that it flows into the finest recesses of the mold during pouring—into the beard, under the hood, and around the staff.

Without this flowability, corners of the mold would remain unfilled, and the embossing would lose the very sharpness that carries the entire narrative here. Children recognize the Santa Claus immediately, even though not a single line has been printed on it. The beard covers half the chest, the hood fits snugly around the head, and the staff supports the figure all the way down to the hem.

The figure is often kept until Christmas Eve, though in all honesty, rarely for that long. Until then, it is best kept cool and in the dark. At our shop, you can find all Fesey chocolate figures, other chocolate figures, and everything for December from calendars to plates.
