An apparatus and process for forming a center-filled confectionary rope in which the center candy is a candy which, during the forming process, is too viscous to be pumped. A center candy is obtained and formed into a continuous cylindrical shape. This is done by using a feeding miller which extracts from the viscous center candy mass a continuous flow of candy. This continuous flow of candy is introduced into a batch roller which forms the continuous flow of candy into a continuous cylindrical shape. An exterior candy mass is obtained and formed into a continuous rectangular shape. This is accomplished by placing the exterior candy mass in a feeding miller which extracts a continuous flow of the exterior candy mass in the form of a rectangular cross section. The continuous rectangularly shaped exterior candy mass is then attached to the continuous cylindrically shaped viscous candy mass and wrapped around the cylindrical center candy in a helical fashion.
