The present invention is related with the manufacturing industry of raw materials for the production of sweet candies. More specifically, it's related with the manufacturing of raw materials that usually includes sucrose in its composition and more specifically with the manufacturing of raw material for the production of cotton candy. The formulation has the advantage of not containing sucrose and allowing the manufacturing of cotton candy. It may be processed in a normal cotton candy production machine and with an equal performance of that obtained when sucrose is used; its components doesn't result in glucose neither by digestion nor by metabolism. This formulation has the following base qualitative composition. Steviol glycosides or Stevia rebaudiana extract. Poly-dextrose. Isomaltose. Isomaltulose. Glucono-deltalactone. Silicon Dioxide.

The invention relates to a method for preparing a chocolate product, the process comprising: (a) providing a mixture, said mixture comprising: (i) one or more cocoa components; (ii) a non-reducing sugar; (iii) one or more reducing sugars; and (iv) water; and (b) mechanically agitating the mixture at a temperature at which the mixture is in a liquid state. The invention further relates to a chocolate product comprising: (I) one or more cocoa components; (II) a non-reducing sugar; (III) one or more reducing sugars; and (IV) water wherein said chocolate product comprises between 4 and 20 wt. % of water with respect to the weight of the chocolate product, preferably between 6 and 15 wt. % of water with respect to the weight of the chocolate product.

Alcohol-based, edible ink formulations comprising scalenohedral calcium carbonate particles are provided. The calcium carbonate particles can act as a white pigment to impart white color properties to the edible ink formulations. The edible ink formulations can be printed onto a variety of surfaces, including the surfaces of food products such as confectionery products and snack food products.
