Abstract
Reduced fat (fat contents range from about 5% to about 20%) confectionery morsels and bars and a method for their preparation are provided. The confection is manufactured by mixing a syrup component comprising a major amount by weight of a crystallizable saccharide and minor amounts by weight of water and emulsifier; with a flavoring component comprising a major amount by weight of flavoring and a minor amount by weight of fat; and a seeding component comprising a major amount by weight of starch and fat and minor amounts by weight of finely milled saccharide and emulsifier. The confection has the proper consistency for shaping with extrusion methods due to crystal formation, starch hydration, and moisture content.
