Shaped chewing gum products are made by mixing gum base, amorphous bulk sweetener and crystalline bulk sweetener together to form a fluid compositio n and molding that composition into desired shapes. The molding may be accomplished by making multiple depressions in a bed of powder material, eac h depression having a desired shape; depositing the fluid composition into the depressions at a temperature at which the fluid composition will fill into t he shapes of the depressions; allowing the fluid composition to set up to a consistency wherein the composition maintains the shape of the depression to form the shaped chewing gum products; and separating the shaped chewing gum products from the powder material. The chewing gum composition may be combin ed with another confectionery material to make a composite product.
