About Horalky
Horalky is a partly chocolate-coated peanut cream wafer and the single best-selling product the company makes, which in a market it dominates makes it close to a Slovak national snack. It has been extended without being replaced: the current range runs to peanut, peanut butter, chocolate and mini versions, all built on the same three-layer wafer.
