Mishka Kosolapy — Dark Chocolate with Almonds & Wafer
A Russian classic, instantly recognised by Shishkin's bear cubs on the wrapper.
RUSSIA · KRASNY OKTYABR · 75 G
What it is
A dark chocolate bar studded with crushed almonds and crisp wafer pieces, made by the Krasny Oktyabr (Красный Октябрь) factory in Moscow. The painting on the wrapper is a detail from Ivan Shishkin's Morning in a Pine Forest — Russia's most-borrowed image from a confectionery wrapper.
The texture is satisfyingly busy: smooth dark chocolate giving way to almond fragments and tiny crackles of wafer. Best snapped into squares and eaten slowly with a cup of strong tea or coffee.
Ingredients
Sugar, cocoa mass, ground and crushed almond kernels, cocoa butter, crushed wafers (drinking water, wheat flour, refined deodorised sunflower oil, salt, emulsifier: soy lecithin, raising agent: sodium bicarbonate), emulsifiers: soy lecithin, E476, vanilla flavouring.
