Abstract

A treated confectionery can be baked along with a dough and exhibits the distinct characteristics of a confectionery even after baking. The confectionery, which is comprised of a substantial amount of fat, is prepared by heating a confectionery of suitable composition to form a melt, and then cooling and solidifying the confectionery through the temperature range of about 120.degree. F. to about 80.degree. F. at an overall rate that is sufficiently slow for the desired product characteristics to develop.
