## Abstract

A food composition includes allulose having a concentration of about 60% to about 70% by weight, a cocoa product having a concentration of about 20% to about 30% by weight, and at least one natural plant resin having a concentration of about 0.37% to about 2.19% by weight. The at least one natural plant resin may be mastic gum and/or mastic powder. The food composition may further include a combination of plant-derived biominerals and/or antioxidants as active ingredients. A confectionary product made with the food composition is also disclosed.
