Claim 0:
1. A dual-textured confectionery product, comprising:
a chewy confectionery substrate comprising a surface, and a particulate coating at least partially coating the surface of the confectionery substrate;
wherein the particulate coating has a multimodal particle size distribution and comprises a first particulate coating composition having a first particle size distribution and a second particulate coating composition having a second particle size distribution, wherein a mode of the first particle size distribution is different from a mode of the second particle size distribution;
wherein the first particulate coating composition comprises a crystalline saccharide particulate having the first particle size distribution wherein 30- to 80% by weight of the first particulate coating composition has a particle size of greater than 1180 micrometers and less than 1700 micrometers and 0 to 15% by weight of the first particulate coating composition has a particle size that is greater than 1700 micrometers; and
the second particulate coating composition comprises a crystalline saccharide particulate having the second particle size distribution wherein 30- to 75% by weight of the second particulate coating composition has a particle size of greater than 425 micrometers and less than 850 micrometers and 0- to 5% by weight of the second particulate coating composition has a particle size that is greater than 850 micrometers,
wherein particle size is determined by sieve analysis.
