Abstract
A foodstuff treat maker operable to shape a foodstuff material into a shaped foodstuff treat. The foodstuff treat maker includes a pair of opposed forming plates shiftably attached relative to one another and presenting respective forming surfaces. One of the forming surfaces defines a protrusion and the other forming surface defines a cavity. The protrusion is at least partly received in the cavity in a forming position so that the pair of forming plates are mated with one another, with the mated forming surfaces cooperatively shaping foodstuff material applied thereto.
Claims23
A foodstuff treat maker operable to shape a foodstuff material into a shaped foodstuff treat, said foodstuff treat maker comprising:
- a pair of opposed forming plates shiftably attached relative to one another and presenting respective forming surfaces,
- one of said forming surfaces defining a protrusion and the other of said forming surfaces defining a cavity,
- said pair of forming plates shiftable into and out of a forming position where the forming surfaces are located adjacent and in opposition to one another,
- said forming surfaces being shifted away from each other when the forming plates are shifted out of the forming position to expose the forming surfaces and permit the application of foodstuff material to at least one of the forming surfaces,
- said protrusion being at least partly received in the cavity in the forming position so that the pair of forming plates are mated with one another, with the mated forming surfaces cooperatively shaping the applied foodstuff material.
A baked foodstuff biscuit comprising:
- a base wall and a peripheral wall integrally formed of a foodstuff material and baked with each other to present a unitary biscuit form,
- said base wall extending laterally to present an outboard margin and opposite laterally extending faces that span the margin and define a transverse wall thickness dimension,
- said peripheral wall projecting transversely from the outboard margin of the base wall so that the base wall and peripheral wall cooperatively define a transverse biscuit thickness dimension greater than the transverse wall thickness dimension,
- said peripheral wall extending endlessly about the base wall to present a biscuit opening, with the base wall spanning the biscuit opening so that the walls cooperatively form a receptacle opening.
