Abstract
This invention provides methods and devices for manufacturing candy using one or more molds and/or stencils, which comprises the steps of filling a measured amount of a first candy mass into a first mold or stencil portion and filling a measured amount of at least a second mixture comprising a candy mass into a second mold or stencil portion. The invention also discloses a product and process to manufacture candy by forming a candy billet and reducing the cross section of said moldable billet such that features in the candy billet appear in a similar arrangement in the resulting extruded product.
Claims19
A process for making a candy product comprising the steps of:
- forming a candy billet, the candy billet having a longitudinal axis and a cross-sectional graphic distributed over a longitudinal extent of the candy billet;
- using an extruder to extrude the candy billet to form an elongated candy extrusion having a cross-sectional area less than a cross-sectional area of the candy billet;
- and
- cutting the elongated candy extrusion into a plurality of shorter candy pieces, wherein each candy piece substantially exhibits the cross-sectional graphic in reduced scale.
A do-it-yourself candy making workshop comprising:
- a billet station including a plurality of candy elements available for selection by a user to assemble a candy billet;
- an extrusion station having an extruder adapted to receive and extrude the candy billet to provide an elongated candy extrusion having a cross-sectional area less than a cross-sectional area of the candy billet;
- and
- a cutting station having a cutter operable to cut the elongated candy extrusion into a plurality of shorter candy pieces.
