Chocolate Santa silver – 70g

Silver chocolate Santa Claus by Fesey chocolate figures for Secret Santa

The silver chocolate Santa Claus from Fesey Chocolate Figures shines like freshly polished sheet metal and weighs in at 70 grams of milk chocolate. In a Secret Santa exchange with a capped budget, this is the gift that no one will secretly re-gift, and every wrapper is applied by hand.

The silver chocolate Santa Claus is a hollow figure made of milk chocolate with at least 37 percent cocoa, produced by Fesey Chocolate Figures in Riemerling, Upper Bavaria. The silver is pure foil color, and the entire figure relies solely on the embossing underneath.

Secret Santa thrives on the fact that twelve packages look similar, yet each one turns out a little different. This size fits the typical price limit of such exchanges comfortably, and you don't need to wrap a thing. If you are looking for a slightly larger version for your boss, you can find the 125-gram silver Santa Claus.

Mirror shine on the gray desk

The silver really does reflect; it shows the windowsill, the lamp, and a distorted piece of the room. Next to gold, it looks cooler and more modern, and next to red, almost like a foreign object, which is precisely why it is so useful amidst filing folders and keyboards.

The mirror shine gives the embossing hard contrasts. The long beard casts dark lines, the hood a broad shadow edge, and the sack over the shoulder catches the light as a bright hump. The figure stands slightly hunched, with the staff held diagonally in hand, making it look more like a small sculpture than a confectionery item.

A gift that no one passes on

In office kitchens and community centers, things that no one needs pile up in December, and chocolate stands out pleasantly amidst them. The figure is unwrapped, shown around, and usually shared among everyone that same afternoon. After the gift exchange, there is no cardboard box left that someone has to carry down to the recycling bin.

A Santa Claus requires neither shelf space nor questions about the recipient's taste. A broken-off piece is perfect with coffee from the machine, and the rest of the afternoon feels noticeably shorter afterward. Six figures lined up on the conference table clear themselves away long before the agenda is finished.

Hand-foiled, that’s what they call it in-house

The company calls its wrapping process "hand-foiled," and the word fits perfectly: the foil is applied by fingers rather than a machine. At the workbench, each figure gets its wrapper individually, tucked around the beard, hood, and sack.

Because every hand pulls a little differently, no two pieces look exactly alike, which only becomes truly apparent in a group of several figures. If you look closely, you can spot the place on the sleeve where a thumb last pressed the foil down.

Under the foil waits a mild milk chocolate whose cocoa butter ranks ahead of the cocoa mass in the list of ingredients. The thin shell gives way at room temperature instead of splintering, and the melt finishes after a few seconds. The declaration lists milk and soybeans as allergens; the list goes no further.

Among the chocolate figures from Riemerling, this size is the most manageable, and the collection spans both seasonal holidays. In our shop, you will find the entire Fesey family of figures, other chocolate figures for Advent and Easter, and gifts for the colleague at the next desk.
