Abstract:
A supported confectionery product comprising an openable and recloseable container formed of first and second parts, said container including a handle portion for holding the confectionery product and defined by said first and second parts and an elongate stalk projecting from said handle portion for forming a mounting place for the confectionery product, said stalk including a first leg extending from said first part and a second leg extending from said second part, said legs being arrayed in side-by-side condition when said container parts are closed said legs including ends spaced from said handle portion, said end of said second leg being spaced further from said handle portion than said end of said first leg, a prize in said handle portion of said container and a confectionery portion encompassing portions of both of said legs such that separation and opening of said first and second container parts and thus access to the prize is prevented, said confectionery portion including an exterior surface area in spaced relation to said handle, said end portion of said first leg being disposed closer to said exterior surface area than said end of said second leg, such that removal of increments of said confectionery portion to expose said end of said first leg so that it is no longer encompassed in the confectionery portion enables separation of said first and second parts of said container and thus opening of the container and access to the prize while the remaining portion of said confectionery portion remains mounted on said second leg.
