Abstract
A chewy confection having an outer casing comprising chewing gum base and a sweetener, and a center filling which is an aerated plastic blend containing about 5% to about 20% moisture, and from about 1% to about 15% fat with m.p. above 22.degree. C. and about 0.1% to about 10% whipping agent dispersed in a water-soluble, sweet-tasting chewy candy matrix which forms about 55% to about 90% of the blend. The center filling has a chewing consistency similar to that of the casing so that at first bite through the confection the center filling is not readily distinguishable. The center filling imparts prolonged release of sweetness and of flavor (when present in the center filling) and an improved size perception as compared with chewing gum items of similar size.
