A Krembo question

I heard a rumor about the Krembo being hand wrapped, because no machinery is delicate enough to wrap it without breaking the thin chocolate layer. Can anyone confirm or deny this information?

And another question on that same matter, what's the order of the stages in Krembo manufacturing?

Is the cookie base placed first, then the cream and then the chocolate cover (which brings up the question on how does the chocolate gets its unique form),

or is the chocolate poured into an upside-down placed mold, then filled with cream and topped by the cookie (which brings up the question how come the cookie is covered with chocolate if it was the last thing added)?

The curves are in the form of the cream (the cream is cold and stable).
Imagine the machine that layer the cream - It's like puting toothpaste on a brush - after you squeeze and move the tube you can see a little tip.

take this cream and cover it with chocolate...

If i'm not mistaken - Krembo is no longer hand wrapped for couple of years. but it was...

About the manufacturing - The machine place cream on the cookie and then it is lowerd upside down to a chocolate(?) tank.

Thanks.

Regarding the manufacture aspect - how does the chocolate coating get the curves and the pointy top?

I saw a TV clip not long ago about the krembo making process.

I don't remember about melding the chocolate or not, but I'm sure they said and showed that they are hand wrapped since no one invented a gentle enough machine to wrap them automatically.
