    摘要: A snack bar is produced in accordance with a method employing an extrusion apparatus to include a base or crust, a primary filling provided on the base and a second filling or topping embedded in, yet externally exposed from, the primary filling. The primary and secondary fillings are co-extruded, with an extrusion nozzle for the secondary filling being located directly adjacent an extrusion port for the primary filling. The primary filling is non-flowable, while the secondary filling is preferably flowable. The extrusion nozzle can be repositioned either between or during extrusion operations to alter a repeating pattern for the secondary filling.

    摘要: The present invention provides an apparatus for coating an edible receptacle the apparatus comprising a nozzle for applying a fat-based coating material to the internal surface of the edible receptacle and a gas-dosing element with an external surface shape corresponding to the internal shape of the edible receptacle wherein the gas dosing element has at least one aperture suitable for the introduction of cooled gas into the edible receptacle. The invention also provides a process for manufacturing a coated edible receptacle for a frozen confection comprising the steps of: providing an edible receptacle; at least partially coating the internal surface of the edible receptacle by spraying a fat-based coating onto the internal surface of the edible receptacle; and introducing a gas-dosing element into the edible receptacle, wherein the gas-dosing element has an external surface shape corresponding to the internal shape of the edible receptacle and wherein cooled gas is introduced into the edible receptacle through the gas-dosing element and wherein the gas dosing element does not come into contact with the fat-based coating.

    摘要: An apparatus for stuffing confection is structured to have a base member and an enclosure connected to the base member and disposed and dimensioned to receive a confection therein. The base member has a plurality of pockets and enables the enclosure to be secured within its dimensions. A cap assembly is structured in a communicating relation with a hollow interior of the enclosure. The removable cap assembly is structured to retain the stuffing material. An injection member has an injection piston movable relative to the cap assembly in a driving relation to the stuffing material. The driving relation of the injection piston with the stuffing material causes the stuffing material to be forced from the cap assembly into the confection retained within the hollow interior of said enclosure. The enclosure has wall members in a surrounding relation to the interior of the enclosure and at least partially defines the interior.
