Abstract
An injection 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. An injection mold for forming the solution into suitably shaped pieces of candy is prepressurized at a superatmospheric carbonation pressure prior to the injection therein of the confectionary solution. The solution is then injected into the mold at a pressure substantially above the superatmospheric pressure in the carbonation vessel. The solution is then allowed to cool and solidify in the pressurized mold, producing regularly shaped pieces of carbonated candy.
