Abstract
The present invention includes a candy and a method for producing it which solves the following problems: crystallization control, continuous production for mass production when the candy includes crystallization of xylitol; prevention of deterioration of the perceived coolness of xylitol, and loss of moisture absorption stability. The includes xylitol and erythritol, wherein the candy is produced by a method including the steps of: heating and melting a compound containing xylitol and erythritol at a weight ratio ranging from 99:1 to 80:20; forming a preliminary product that keeps the melted sugar liquefied in a partly or fully crystallized xylitol fluid by maintaining a fluidity temperature which is below the melting point of xylitol forming the preliminary product into a desired shape; and cooling the formed product to room temperature.
