A deposit molding arrangement and process for producing regularly shaped pieces of gasified candy which effect a pleasant sizzling sensation in the mouth. A confectionary solution, which may be a sugar melt, is subjected to a superatmospheric carbonating pressure in a carbonating vessel to cause absorption therein of carbon dioxide. A deposit molding arrangement for forming the solution into suitably shaped pieces of candy is maintained at a superatmospheric carbonation pressure in a pressurized housing. The deposit molding arrangement includes a conveyor belt having a plurality of mold cavities formed in its surface. The conveyor belt passes beneath dispensing nozzles which deposit a metered amount of confectionary solution in each mold cavity. The solution is then allowed to cool and solidify in the mold, and the conveyor belt empties the resultant carbonated candy pieces therefrom when it travels to an inverted position. A pressure lock system enables the carbonated candy pieces to be periodically removed from the pressurized housing.
