4 milk chocolatero need to be removed to have even amounts

24+24= 48

24 packets with 1 of each(2 count) is one possibility.

You can have less packets with more chocolates inside like 12 packets with 4 count(2 of each)

Any combination with result 48. To use al chocolatesl : 4 packets:Each packet has 6dark and 7milk choc
