A method of rapidly producing a final wax-free chewing gum product is disclosed. The chewing gum is made using a chew- ing gum base which is devoid or substantially free of wax. The gum base includes about 20 to about 60 weight per cent synthetic elastomer, 0 to about 30 weight per cent natural elastomer, about 5 to about 55 weight per cent elastomer plasticizer, about 4 to about 40 weight per cent filler, about 5 to about 40 weight per cent softene r, and optional minor amounts of miscellaneous ingre- dients such as colors, antioxidants, etc. Chewing gum compositions are provided which compositions temper rapidly in produc- tion and which chewing gums provide an initial soft bite, but still are produced more efficiently than comparable wax containing chewing gums.
