Abstract
The method consists of intimately dry mixing a set amount of powdered milk with a set amount of ground microcrystalline sugar as binder alone or with one or more carbohydrates selected from a group including glucose, fructose, maltose, sucrose, matoldextrines, and maltitol, and of compressing the mixture into a bar. Fluorine and/or flavoring matter, such as cocoa, coffee, strawberry flavor, mint flavor, are added to the mixture prior to its compression. The resulting bars are in the form of square-based parallelepipeds with rounded corners.
