Abstract
A fast conched candy coating is prepared by providing a mixture of fat and sugar, optionally with milk solids, emulsifiers, flavoring, cocoa or cocoa butter, heating the mixture to a temperature above the melting point of the fat but below 150.degree. F, and conching the mixture in a high speed shearing and mixing device. The mechanical energy imparted during the shearing and mixing raise the conching temperature to between 150.degree. and 250.degree. F in less than 30 seconds.
