Method of making a confectionery product

摘要

A method of making a confectionery product comprising a substrate formed from a first confectionery substance and a layer of inclusions made from a second confectionery substance uses an applicator 14 with a porous end portion 16. The pressure of the gas in the end portion of the applicator is reduced so that when the applicator is brought into close proximity to a reservoir of solid granules of the second confectionery substance a layer of the solid granules 18 is drawn onto and retained on the end portion of the applicator. The applicator is then brought to a predetermined distance from the substrate 24 and the pressure of the gas in the end portion of the applicator is increased so that the layer of granules of the second confectionery substance is deposited on the substrate. An apparatus for applying a layer of edible solid granules comprises a mould 20, an applicator having a porous end 14 and a conduit 12a which extends from the porous end wherein the porous end portion is profiled to conform to the profile of the mould.
