A sugarless hard coated chewing gum comprising a sugarless chewing gum center and a sugarless hard coating containing a substantially hygroscopic sugarless sweetener. The chewing gum center has a low water content, preferably less than about 2.5 weight percent based on the weight of the gum center. The sugarless hard coated chewing gum is manufactured by applying to the chewing gum center a sugarless syrup comprising the hygroscopic sweetener to coat the gum centers. The coated gum centers are then dried in an inert medium such as air to form the hard coating. |
