Confectionery compositions, suitable for fillings, comprise one or more confectionery additives selected from sugar, cocoa powder, milk powder, yoghurt powder, flavoring and emulsifier, together with a fat blend comprising: (i) polyunsaturated fatty acid residues in an amount of greater than 40% by weight based on total fatty acid residues in the fat blend; (ii) S2U triglycerides in an amount of between 10 and 50% by weight based on the weight of the fat blend, wherein S is a saturated fatty acid residue having 12-24 carbon atoms and U is an unsaturated fatty acid residue having 12-24 carbon atoms; and (iii) H2M+M2H triglycerides in an amount of less than 5% by weight based on the weight of the fat blend, wherein H is a saturated fatty acid residue having at least 16 carbon atoms and M is a saturated fatty acid residue having 8 to 14 carbon atoms; and wherein the fat blend has a content of trans fatty acid residues of less than 3% by weight based on total fatty acid residues in the fat blend, a content of diglycerides of less than 3% by weight of the fat blend and a C12 fatty acid residue content of less than 5% by weight based on total fatty acid residues in the fat blend. The composition is particularly useful as a confectionery or bakery filling.
