- providing an interspersed mixture of a particulate chocolate and a particulate confectionery composition comprising a syrup in an extruder that includes an extrusion die;
- and
- applying pressure to the mixture in the extruder to pass the mixture through the extrusion die at a temperature such that the mixture and extrudate are in a non-pourable state to plastically deform the mixture to obtain an extrudate that has veins of the confectionery composition interspersed within a matrix of the chocolate.
A process for producing a confectionery product comprising:
- feeding into an extruder first and second compositions in particulate form to obtain a mixture thereof in particulate form in the extruder, the first composition being selected from the group consisting of a chocolate substitute that comprises a cocoa butter replacement and of a chocolate analogue that comprises a cocoa butter replacement, and a second composition comprising a confectionery that comprises a syrup;
- applying pressure to the mixture in the extruder to pass the mixture through the extruder to and through a common extruder die at a temperature such that the mixture and extrudate are in a non-pourable state to plastically deform the mixture to obtain an extrudate from the die, wherein the second composition forms veins interspersed within the first composition in the extrudate;
- and
- obtaining the extrudate from the die as the product.
