A method of manufacturing an edible product comprising the steps of:
- providing a mould comprising a quantity of molten edible material;
- introducing a chilled stamp into the mould, to solidify the material and so form a shell,
- wherein the stamp comprises a projection arranged to produce a predefined area of weakness in the shell;
- filling the shell with a relatively soft filling;
- closing the shell to seal in the filling.
