Abstract
A confection includes a soft candy center containing from 5% to 40% by weight water. A first coating is applied to the candy center. A second coating is applied over the first coating. The second coating contains a vitamin, enzyme, phytochemical, or alimentary vegetable composition. The first coating seals moisture in the soft candy center to retard the biodegradation of the vitamin, enzyme, phytochemical or alimentary vegetable composition in the second coating.
