Disclosed is an apparatus for filling edible, rod-shaped hollow bodies with chocolate comprising a feeding unit (1) for conveying hollow bodies (A), a transport roller (2) positioned close to the feeding unit, a first transfer roller (5) positioned close to the transport roller, a chocolate filling roller (8) positioned close to the first transport roller, a second transfer roller (13) positioned close to the chocolate filling roller, and a discharging unit (14) positioned close to the second transfer roller for receiving and conveying hollow bodies filled with chocolate from the chocolate filling roller via the second transfer roller. The apparatus assures the continuous flow of hollow bodies to the chocolate filling station without any fear of breaking fragile hollow bodies, thereby permitting mass production of chocolate corn cakes, each filled with an exact amount of chocolate.
