Abstract
A relatively hard stiff core of molded material such as a thermoplastic elastomer provides a durable base for a softer, more easily chewable overcoat layer formed over the core. The core and overcoat may be molded in the shape of a dog bone. Recesses and/or bores may be formed or molded in the core to receive the overcoat material which flows into the recesses and/or bores to lock the overcoat on the core.
