38 The present invention provides an edible, non-pourable plastic or semi-plastic composition comprising 0.1 to 80% by weight of discrete, fat-bearing, plastic, semiplastic or liquid particles dispersed in a fat-bearing plastic or semi-plastic matrix, said matrix and said particles each comprising 10 to 100% by weight of fat, said particles having a size of about 0.04 to 4.8 mm and a Wiley melting point less than 100.degree.F. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing a composition comprising discrete particles containing 10 to 100% by weight of fat and having a particle size of 0.04 to 4.8 mm in a margarine matrix, comprising the steps of introducing 0.1 to 80% by weight of said particles into said matrix at a temperature below the melting point of the particles while the matrix is in a liquid supercooled state; and cooling the composition. |
