Abstract:
1. A method of forming a multi-layer confectionery composition comprising: co-extruding a first confectionery composition with a second confectionery composition that is different in at least one characteristic from said first confectionery composition to form a continuous multi-layered rope comprised of at least one layer of the first confectionery composition and at least one layer of the second confectionery composition, wherein said second confectionery composition is extruded at 30-45 degrees Celsius and said first confectionery composition is extruded at least 45-60 degrees Celsius, wherein said co-extruding includes extruding a multi-layered rope having three consecutive layers, the first confectionery composition being extruded as a first layer and a third layer, and the second confectionery composition being extruded as a second layer, and wherein the second layer is sandwiched between the first and third layers to make said multi-layered rope; passing said multilayer rope through a conditioner and cooling said multilayer rope to a lower temperature of 20-40 degrees Celsius upon exiting said conditioner; sizing the multi-layered rope; and separating the multi-layered rope into pieces.
