I guess a two layer chocolate was too expensive to manufacture? The factory that originally produced this was called Hellas and was (despite its name) really located in Turku, Finland. Hellas was part of a bigger company, Huhtamäki, which bought Leaf (a known American company that produced Milk Duds etc.). Because of bad management, Huhtamäki sold Leaf to the Netherlands and the once great conglomerate became a pure packaging company. Leaf closed the chocolate factory in Turku and started sourcing this chocolate from Panda. This chocolate still tastes exceptionally good together with a cup of good coffee. It was much better when it was a two layer thing though. This was originally a two layer chocolate, what is missing now is the somewhat darker bottom layer.

As far as i know the history of Leaf is very variegated and originally the name of the company is American. Nowadays the Leaf headquarters are in Holland and some candy factories here in Finland are part of the concern. Anyhow, for some reason it's Panda chocolate factory (not part of Leaf) who make this Royal Chocolate for them. The chocolate gets its special flavour from whey powder. Hi!
