A chewing gum product comprises a gum pellet covered by a hard coating containing erythritol and xylitol. The coating may be a homogeneous material built up of layers from a single coating syrup containing erythritol and xylitol. The syrup preferably contains, on a solids basis, a blend of about 5% to about 95% erythritol and about 5% to about 95% xylitol. The coating is particularly useful in making sugarless gum products.
