Confection filled gasified caramel and process for obtaining the same
First Claim
1. The method for obtaining a confection filled with gasified caramel, comprising the steps ofpreparing an initial caramel mass at a temperature between about 90°
- C. and 150°
C. and at a degree of moisture lower than equilibrium moisture of said gasified caramel;
including in said caramel mass at least one additive which is an essence or colorant;
proportioning said caramel mass into two parts which are in a substantially liquid state;
pouring said heated two parts of said caramel mass in two complementary hollow molds such that said two parts of said caramel mass are deposited directly into said two complementary molds;
pushing said two parts of said caramel mass to form cavities each having a volume of 0.2 to 20 ml in said two parts of said caramel mass disposed in said two complementary molds, said pushing step being performed substantially without applying pressure on said caramel mass such that transparent shells are produced;
cooling said molds to a temperature from about 30°
C. to about 38°
C.;
dropping chips of gasified caramel alone or mixed with chewing gum and with a grain size between about 0.2 and 10 mm and in a quantity of about 0.1 to 15 grams directly into at least one of said cavities of said two parts;
applying an adhesive to said two parts of said caramel mass disposed in said two complementary molds; and
joining said two complementary molds together to produce union of said two parts of said caramel from said molds such that a confection is formed.

Abstract
A process for obtaining a confection filled with gasified caramel in which the initial caramel mass is at a temperature between about 90 and 150° C. and at a degree of moisture below equilibrium moisture of the resulting gasified caramel. After adding essences and/or colorants and depositing the mass in molds (14, 15), cavities of a volume of 0.2 to 20 ml are punched (17) in the two parts of the caramel mass disposed in the molds. The molds are then cooled to a temperature below 50° C., with chips of gasified caramel alone or mixed with chewing gum being placed into the cavities formed in the molds. Before the two complementary molds are joined (20), an adhesive (19) is applied to the parts of the caramel mass disposed in the molds. The caramel (23) is then removed (22) from the molds. The caramel (23) which has been filled with gasified caramel either alone or mixed with chewing gum, may be provided with a stick (24). The gasified caramel is protected from moisture, thereby simplifying the wrapping thereof.

20. A confection comprising two transparent caramel shells united together with adhesive which are filled therein with gasified caramel, obtained in a method comprising the steps of
preparing an initial caramel mass at a temperature between about 90° - C. and 150°
C. and at a degree of moisture lower than equilibrium moisture of said gasified caramel;including in said caramel mass at least one additive which is an essence or colorant; proportioning said caramel mass into two parts in a substantially liquid state; pouring said heated two parts of said caramel mass in two complementary hollow molds such that said two parts of said caramel mass are deposited directly into said two complementary molds, pushing said two substantially liquid parts of said caramel mass to form cavities each having a volume of 0.2 to 20 ml in said two parts of said caramel mass disposed in said two complementary molds, said pushing step being performed substantially without applying pressure such that transparent shells are produced; cooling said molds to a temperature from about 30°
C. to about 38°
C.; and
thereafterdropping chips of gasified caramel alone or mixed with chewing gum and with a grain size between about 0.2 and 10 mm and in a quantity of about 0.2 to 15 grams directly into at least one of said cavities of said two parts; applying an adhesive to said two parts of said caramel mass disposed in said molds; joining said two complementary molds together to produce union of said two parts of said caramel mass; and removing the confection comprising gasified caramel from said molds. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
