Abstract
Multi-textured confectionery pieces, such as marbits for use in cereal, are prepared by combining particulates with a non-aerated marshmallow slurry to form a pumpable dough/particulate slurry. The pumpable confection/particulate slurry is then combined with a cooled, aerated marshmallow slurry. By first forming the confection/particulate slurry in non-aerated form and then combining with the aerated marshmallow slurry, the resulting combination slurry remains aerated, while the incorporated particulates remain intact. This resulting foam product is then extruded into a desired shape, cut into confectionery pieces and dried, thereby effectively establishing the desired multi-textured confectionery pieces.
