<p>A process for forming an extruded fat-containing confectionery material into an extrusion device and applying pressure to the fat-containing confectionery material in a substantially solid or semi-solid non-pourable or non-flowable form upstream of a flow constriction whereby the temperature, pressure, contraction ratio and extrusion rate are such that the fat-containing confectionery material is extruded substantially isothermally and remains in a substantially solid or semi-solid non-pourable or non-flowable form and which has a temporary flexibility or plasticity, characterised in that, while the extruded product exhibits the temporary flexibility, the extruded product is compression moulded pressed or deformed into the desired shape.</p> |
