Abstract

The invention provides a composition for and method of producing a supplemental dietary fiber fortified fructose-based chewy confection which can be stabilized to produce a long textured taffy-like candy or a short textured nougat-like candy, which confection has an acceptable mouthfeel and exhibits a reduced adherence to a consumer's teeth through incorporation of a unique emulsifier blend.
