The chocolate contains two kinds of blended vanilla and the taste of rich milk is pulled out.

The company produces the chocolate with a special manufacturing method (MGM manufacturing method) .

The volume is 45g, compared to 50g of normal Ghana milk.

It means a little more expensive and the size is small, not enough for young men.

But it will make you feel happy by the taste.
