Provided is an approach for obtaining a high quality xylitol-containing candy in a short period of time. A candy composition according to the present invention contains a sugar composition portion comprising xylitol as a main component and a different carbohydrate, and a crystallization promoting agent promoting crystallization of the xylitol. The crystallization promoting agent is a substance which leaves solid residues in a melt of the sugar composition portion when a powder of the crystallization promoting agent in an amount of 0.5 g is added to 100 g of the melt maintained at 90° C., and stirred for 30 minutes. The content of the crystallization promoting agent is preferably from 0.5 parts by mass to 10 parts by mass relative to the candy composition. The crystallization promoting agent is preferably selected from a tea powder, a coffee powder, a cocoa powder, a talc powder, a calcium carbonate powder, a silicic anhydride powder, a magnesium carbonate powder, and combinations thereof. Preferably, the multi-region confectionery product 10 according to the present invention comprises a defined shaped region 30 comprising a solidified material of the candy composition, and at least a portion of the defined shaped region 30 is exposed.
