The present disclosure is directed to a container including a first section, a second section and a ridge formed of a plurality of bollards projecting from one of the first or second section. The container including a plurality of receptacles formed by the orientation of the bollards with respect to each other.

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.

Filled cluster products comprising an inner material and an outer shell, and methods of manufacturing the same, are disclosed. Outer shells comprising delicate exclusions are susceptible to moisture and force and present a challenge in manufacturing filled cluster products. Typical filled cluster products with delicate extrusions have an outer shell with a high binder to exclusion ratio and significant sugar content. Disclosed herein are methods and formulations for the manufacture of filled cluster products having low binder to exclusion ratio and a low sugar content.

A food product containing propolis extract in both inner and outer fillings for use in the food industry, wherein it is a chocolate or similar food product having raw honey and propolis, as sweetener and preservative, respectively, in the inner and outer fillings.

A confectionery product is provided. The product includes a hollow body formed by at least one first material. Present on the outer surface itself of the product is a second material, different from said first material, which reproduces a decorative element. The hollow body comprises a first outer layer, formed by the first material and at least one second layer, formed by the second material, which is set internally, on the first layer. The first layer has an opening that allows a portion of the second layer to emerge on the outer surface, so as to form the decorative element. The first outer layer and the portion of the second layer together define the outer surface. The second layer coats the inner side of the first layer at least partially and at a position away from the opening.

Truffles and other confections including cotton candy as a filling or as the outer shell of a filled confection are disclosed, as are methods of making such confections. In methods of making such confections, fresh cotton candy is shaped as needed, and then the shaped cotton candy is caused or allowed to form a thin crust of sugar that protects the inner mass of cotton candy from infiltration by chocolate or other coatings. The thin crust may be formed by a simple process, such as aging the formed cotton candy at appropriate conditions of temperature and humidity, or it may be formed by actively moistening the formed cotton candy. The resulting formed mass of cotton candy can be coated and finished. In some cases, shaped cotton candy may be formed around a filling and caused or allowed to form an outer crust, such that the cotton candy forms the outer layer of a truffle.
