Mekupelet
Chocolate confection made in Israel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mekupelet (Hebrew: מקופלת) (sold in English-speaking markets as Chocolate Log[1][2]) is a bar of thinly folded milk chocolate produced in Israel since 1935 by Elite,[3] now a subdivision of the Strauss Group.[4][5] The Hebrew name means "folded".[4] It is known for its crumbliness and thin flakes and has been compared to the British chocolate bar known as Cadbury Flake.[3]
