摘要

A method of coating layer of a sugarless syrup material on pieces of confectionery material to form a crunch coating, said method comprising the steps of: (a) introducing pieces of confectionery material into a coating mechanism; (b) forwarding the sugarless syrup material from a container housing the sugarless syrup material through a conduit to the coating mechanism; (c) maintaining the sugarless syrup material at an elevated temperature within the container and conduit sufficient to prevent the solids in the sugarless syrup material from crystallizing or precipitating out of the sugarless syrup material; (d) spraying at least one layer of the sugarless syrup material on each of said pieces of confectionery material to enable the sugarless syrup material. to crystallize on the pieces of confectionery material, said sugarless syrup material having a solids concentration of 70-74 Brix; and (e) drying said at least one layer of said sugarless syrup material to form the crunch coating of said sugarless syrup material on said pieces of confectionery material.
