<p>A fast conched candy coating is provided herein. The coating is prepared by providing a mixture of fat and sugar, optionally with milk solids, emulsifiers, flavoring, cocoa or cocoa butter, heating the mixture to a temperature above the melting point of the fat but below 150.degree.F, and conching the mixture in a high speed shearing and mixing device. The mechanical energy imparted during the shearing and mixing raise the conching temperature to between 150.degree.F and 250.degree.F in less than 30 seconds. The coating can thus be produced in a fraction of the time necessary for producing a conventionally conched compound coating for candies.</p> |
