A xylitol coated comestible is disclosed. The coated comestible comprises an edible core and a xylitol coating thereon, said coating comprising about 40 to about 70 wt % xylitol, based on the weight of the coating, at least one film-forming agent, at least one binder, at least one filler, and, optionally, at least one plasticizer. A process of producing a sugarless coated or a sugar coated comestible is also disclosed. The process comprises applying to an edible core at least three coating solutions to coat the edible core, wherein each solution comprises a sweetener, at least one film-forming agent, at least one binder, optionally at least one filler, and optionally at least one plasticizer. In the process, after each coating solution is applied by spraying the solution onto the cores, the solution so applied is dried, whereby, upon application of all the solutions, a final coated product having a smooth, hard, and crunchy coating is produced. |
