Described herein is a food product comprising a solid chocolate body (2) having an outer surface. The product is characterized in that it comprises a closed wafer shell (4), containing said chocolate body (2) inside it.

A food product includes a shell containing at least one ingredient. The shell includes first and second shell portions. The shell is configured to be dissolved or melted into a heated liquid to release the at least one ingredient in order to form a heated beverage. The at least one ingredient includes multiple marshmallows configured to float on a top surface of the heated beverage. The shell includes at least one decorative feature disposed on an exterior surface of the shell.

A method of manufacturing confectionery shells using cold-stamping is provided. The method can also be used to manufacture multi-layered confectionery shells and/or confectionery shells comprising inclusions. Scraping means are passed outwardly over the boundary of the mould cavity in two or more different outward directions.

A food product includes first and second shells containing multiple ingredients. The first and second shells are attached to each other by an edible bonding agent. The shells are configured to be dissolved or melted into a heated liquid to release the multiple ingredients and the edible bonding agent is configured to be dissolved or melted into the heated liquid in order to form a heated beverage. The multiple ingredients include a first ingredient that dissolves into the heated liquid and a second ingredient.

A method and apparatus for producing confectionery products, preferably shells for chocolate products. The invention comprises depositing one or more inclusions into a mould cavity and depositing a food product into the mould cavity through a depositor plate comprising a plurality of nozzles.

A puzzle of chocolate-based material puzzle pieces is formed by providing a transfer sheet having a design of food-grade material on a first side of the transfer sheet and providing a puzzle piece template having passages shaped as pieces of the puzzle. The puzzle piece template is arranged on top of the first side of the transfer sheet. The passages of the puzzle piece template are filled with a chocolate-based material. After crystallization, the chocolate-based material in the passages of the puzzle piece template form the chocolate-based material puzzle pieces of the puzzle. The chocolate-based material puzzle pieces are removed from the template.

A food product includes a shell containing multiple ingredients. The shell includes first and second shell portions attached to each other. The shell is configured to be dissolved or melted into a heated liquid to release the multiple ingredients in order to form a heated beverage. The multiple ingredients include cocoa mix configured to be dissolved into the heated liquid and multiple marshmallows configured to float on a top surface of the heated beverage.

A food product includes first and second shells containing multiple ingredients. The first and second shells are attached to each other by an edible bonding agent. The shells are configured to be dissolved or melted into a heated liquid to release the multiple ingredients and the edible bonding agent is configured to be dissolved or melted into the heated liquid in order to form a heated beverage. The multiple ingredients include a first ingredient that dissolves into the heated liquid and a second ingredient.

A food product includes at least one shell that contains one or more ingredients within the at least one shell. The at least one shell can be dissolved or melted into a heated liquid to release the one or more ingredients and form a heated beverage. As a particular example, multiple shells could be formed from chocolate and can contain ingredients for hot cocoa (such as cocoa mix and marshmallows). The multiple shells could be arranged in a particular pattern and decorated to form a character, such as a snowman.

A stamp plate (1) and a device for producing shell-shaped goods for consumption made of a food mass, in particular a fat mass such as cocoa or a chocolate-type fat mass. The stamp plate comprises a substantially flat base body (2) and at least one stamp (3) which can be temperature controlled and is arranged on the base body (2). The at least one stamp (3), during the intended use, can be immersed into a cavity (7) of a mold (7) in which the food mass is located, and the cavity corresponding to the stamp (3). At least one additional raised element (4) is arranged on the base body (2) as a spacer (5) for the mold (7).
