Methods, and the food products produced thereby, to stabilize multi-layer food products. The method is carried out by providing at least one edible fluid, preferably fat, migration-inhibiting barrier layer to at least a portion of the outer surface of at least one inner layer, preferably a fat-containing inner layer. The invention provides, in particular, multi-layer food products with increased shelf life and/or prolonged consumer acceptability. The invention is especially useful for the inhibition of fat bloom or at least the prolonged aesthetic preservation of the outer chocolate layer of multi-layer confections; however, fat bloom could occur in almost any fat-containing layer. |
