The disclosed frozen confection machine is provided with a series of mold bars each of which contain a plurality of cavities for containing confection material which is frozen in said cavities. The machine is provided with a mechanism for inserting sticks into the partially frozen confection material, means for defrosting the exterior of the cavities to facilitate removal of the frozen confections and a selectively operable device responsive to the inadvertent retention of confection material in one or more cavities to remove the retained confection material by inverting the mold bar and spraying hot water into the cavities to remove the confection material. Moreover the confection machine provides laterally opposed to chains circulating in a closed path in which one reach of the chain, the working reach, associated with filling, freezing, stick insertion and confection removal devices and a return reach. The working reach of the chains are collapsed crowding the series of mold bars in substantially abutting relationship to thereby provide a solid wall of mold bars. This arrangement substantially reduces the number of mold bars required for producing a given number of confections per unit time, substantially reduces contamination of its cavities with brine and substantially reduces the amount of water used since washing of the mold cavity is selective.
