About Milk chocolate coating

Milk chocolate coating is a milk-chocolate-based coating ingredient, used to cover or finish other foods. The name identifies its general character and use but does not specify the cocoa, milk, sweetener, or fat proportions, or whether additional ingredients are present.

It is encountered as a solid coating or as a melted layer on a finished product. It is typically sweet and chocolate-flavoured, with colour and texture varying by formulation and temperature; the catalogue entry does not identify a particular product recipe.
