Red Chocolate St. Nicholas by Fesey Chocolate Figures with Bushy Beard

The red chocolate St. Nicholas by Fesey Chocolate Figures is a flat relief made of milk chocolate, wrapped by hand in deep red foil. Weighing 20 grams, the hat, bushy beard, and a friendly face are visible solely as an embossing in the paper, without any printing.

Red Chocolate St. Nicholas is a chocolate St. Nicholas cast and hand-wrapped by Fesey Chocolate Figures in Riemerling, Upper Bavaria. The motif is embossed into the foil, keeping it flat enough for a polished boot, an envelope, or a compartment in an advent calendar.

This design distinguishes it from the large hollow figures placed under the tree. Where a Santa Claus requires space and a stable base, this St. Nicholas disappears into a coat pocket, only to reappear on December 6th exactly where a child least expects it.

Hat, beard, and face solely from the embossing

The foil is a solid red—a thin metal wrap with no print on it at all. Everything you recognize in the face is pressed from behind through the paper: the broad rim of the hat over the forehead, the bushy eyebrows, the mustache, and the heavy waves of the beard below.

Because the light gathers in the indentations, the red appears almost black there, while the tip of the nose and the top of the hat flash brightly. It is precisely this contrast that makes the face readable as soon as you tilt the St. Nicholas in your hand. Yet, from two meters away, you recognize him instantly.

The little one for boots, calendars, and envelopes

On the evening of December 5th, he slips into the polished shoe by the door, where he finds the perfect spot between mandarins and nuts, where larger figures wouldn't fit. In an advent calendar, he fills a compartment without the cardboard bulging forward.

In the "Nikolaussackerl"—that small jute bag children in Bavaria leave by the door on the eve of the holiday—he sits right on top and doesn't sink to the bottom when carried. Two figures side-by-side weigh hardly more than an apple, yet the bag is filled.

He also serves well as a small gift, whether in a letter to godchildren or next to a place setting at a kindergarten party. For an entire class, a whole box is worth it, as this light figure is quickly distributed and no one is left empty-handed.

Stored in a cool place, the St. Nicholas will last through the weeks until the holiday without damage. When unwrapping, peel the foil from the edge of the hat so the face remains recognizable until the very last bite, and when gifting, lay him in a bowl with the relief facing up.

Milk chocolate with a soft melt

Under the foil is a milk chocolate with at least 37 percent cocoa content, in which cocoa butter is listed before cocoa mass in the ingredients. The relief therefore yields in the middle and melts in the mouth rather than shattering into hard splinters.

Milky and gently sweet, this St. Nicholas hits the mark for children without boring adults at the coffee table. Milk and soybeans are the only allergens listed on the label of such a simple recipe.

Among the chocolate figures from Riemerling, this St. Nicholas is one of the flattest, and the range extends from angels to Easter lambs. Larger options include the 125-gram Santa Claus, the entire collection can be found at Fesey Figures, and more chocolate figures are waiting right next door.
