The production of chocolate figurines became possible with the use of molds. At first, these molds were made of metal but were at risk of poisoning due to metal oxidation. When Leo Hendrik Baekeland discovered in 1906 the chemical formula for bakelite, a more suitable material for molds was obtained. But only in 1953, when chemist Hermann Schnell created polycarbonate, the ideal material for the molds used to create chocolate figures was acquired. Since then, chocolate figurines have been produced on a large scale.
