Abstract
Compositions comprised of water, at least one sweetening agent and at least one food grade emulsifier/foaming agent are useful for forming frosted sweet coatings on consumable articles. The inclusion of a food grade emulsifier/foaming agent in such a composition helps to render the dried coating obtained therefrom more opaque in appearance, even though the sucrose content may be relatively low.
