Abstract
Composite (novel) confection products comprise a multiplicity (e.g. at least 4) of superimposed extruded thin (e.g. less than about 5 mm thick) layers of extrudable e.g. aerated frozen confection, optionally separated by interleaved very thin sound confection layers such as couverture thin enough to be at least partly discontinuous. Apparatus and processing for their production involve use of slotted extrusion outlets for example in multiple or reciprocating arrangements, provided with intermediate spray or secondary feed devices.
