A method of and apparatus for producing frozen confections includes a mixing head which accepts one or more flows of semi-frozen or viscous confection materials and combines them into a single flow, a slicing mechanism which transversely severs the flowing confections into individual products or bodies. Next, edible particulate matter is adhered to the upper surfaces of such products by an assembly having a vibratory portion dispenser and an air jet transfer and adhering assembly which is synchronized to the motion of a product conveyor. The confectionary bodies are then advanced into a refrigerated region where they chill and solidify. Finally, the chilled confectionary bodies are subjected to a chocolate spray or bath which is allowed to congeal and the products are then ready for packaging and are moved to a packaging area.
