## Abstract

A flavored melt is provided. The flavored melt includes a baked sugar composition, where the baked sugar composition includes at least sugar, water, one or more natural or artificial flavorings, and one or more bitter blockers.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A flavored melt, comprising:
a baked sugar composition, the baked sugar composition including:
an amount of sugar in a range of about 1 to about 90 wt. %;
an amount of water in a range of about 1 to about 6 wt. %;
an amount of one or more natural or artificial flavorings in a range of about 1 to about 10 wt. %; and
an amount of one or more bitter blockers in a range of about 0.05 to 0.30 wt. %.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The flavored melt as recited in claim 1, wherein the baked sugar composition is formed into a desired shape using a mold.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The flavored melt as recited in claim 1, wherein the sugar includes one or more sugars selected from the group consisting of baker's sugar; brown sugar; dark brown sugar; and caramel powder.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The flavored melt as recited in claim 1, wherein the one or more natural or artificial flavorings are selected from the group consisting of chocolate flavored powder, cocoa powder; and vanilla flavor.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The flavored melt as recited in claim 1, wherein the baked sugar composition further includes an amount of food coloring in a range of about 0.01 to about 15 wt. %.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The flavored melt as recited in claim 1, wherein the baked sugar composition further includes an amount of salt in a range of about 0.05 to about 0.30 wt. %.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The flavored melt as recited in claim 1, wherein the baked sugar composition further includes sodium carboxymethylcellulose.

### Claim 8

A method for forming a flavored melt, comprising:
blending a plurality of ingredients of a baked sugar composition, wherein the plurality of ingredients includes: an amount of sugar in a range of about 1 to about 90 wt. %, an amount of water in a range of about 1 to about 6 wt. %, an amount of one or more natural or artificial flavorings in a range of about 1 to about 10 wt. %, and an amount of one or more bitter blockers in a range of about 0.05 to 0.30 wt. %;
placing the blended ingredients into an internal cavity of a mold;
removing the blended ingredients from the mold, wherein the blended ingredients retain a shape of the internal cavity; and
baking the blended ingredients in the shape of the internal cavity, forming the flavored melt.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The method as recited in claim 8, wherein the sugar includes one or more sugars selected from the group consisting of: baker's sugar; brown sugar; dark brown sugar; and caramel powder.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)
