A process for making expanded malt flavoured confectionery

摘要

A process for making expanded, malt-flavoured confectionery shapes comprises forming an extrudable edible composition containing malted milk and malt extract as main ingredients, and an expanding agent such as a bicarbonate. The composition is extruded, using an extrusion cooker supplied with carbon dioxide as a further expanding agent, through a die to form an extruded length of expanded malt-flavoured confection. The extruded length is then cut into portions of the desired size, shaped and dried.
