In order to obtain light, dry, crisp, uniformly-flavoured snacks, an aerated plastic composition of edible components is shaped and heated under vacuum, the composition comprising water; a particulate cookable material; a film-forming material in an amount sufficient to coat at least a substantial proportion of the cookable material; and a viscosity modulator (a material having a viscosity which decreases on heating) in an amount sufficient to compensate at least partially for an increase in the viscosity of the composition (owing to water loss) on heating. |
