A soft jelly candy and a production method therefor. The soft jelly candy contains the following components: a) 30-45 parts by weight of carrageenan, b) 4-15 parts by weight of agar and/or pectin, and c) 2-16 parts by weight of gum arabic and/or gellan gum. Based on the total weight of the soft jelly candy after moisture is removed, the components a), b) and c) together account for 2.37-5.86% by weight. The production method includes: uniformly mixing carrageenan, agar and/or pectin, and gum arabic and/or gellan gum with water, respectively. A shrinkage phenomenon does not occur to the soft jelly candy when the soft jelly candy contains a sugar alcohol and/or is high in functional component content.

A preformulated pectin-based melt-to-make bulk gummy mix is disclosed that is storage stable and formulated, optionally with flavors and colors, in a bulk mix form that is convenient for the next step in manufacturing storage stable individual serving reduced sugar or sugar-free pectin-based gummies. Methods for making a storage stable bulk pectin-based gummy mix that is a precursor for making individual serving reduced sugar or sugar-free pectin-based gummies are disclosed, as well as methods for making individual serving reduced sugar or sugar-free pectin-based gummies from a storage stable bulk pectin-based gummy mix. Kits comprising a two-part pectin-based gummy mix and acidulant for initiating pectin gelling are also described for the convenient manufacture of individual serving reduced sugar or sugar-free pectin-based gummies.

The present invention provides a powdered mixture comprising a non-dairy whipped topping, an isolated protein powder, and a plant-based sweetener that does not affect blood sugar or insulin levels. Importantly, the confection can easily be made at home using only water to reconstitute the powdered ingredients and comes in a variety of flavors. The confections disclosed herein can be configured in a solid form, a powdered form, a frozen confection, or as a semisolid or frozen beverage.
