Abstract
An article of ice confectionery is coated with a liquid fatty composition, and the fatty-coated article then is coated with dry friable particulate material, particularly cereal flakes and in particular, rice flakes, and non-adhering particulate material is recycled for subsequent application to and coating of further articles. Intact, non-adhering particulate material is recycled with a vibrating screw elevator. In an embodiment, the particulate material coating step is accompanied by cooling of the fatty-coated article so that the particulate material is applied prior to solidification of the fatty coating at its surface. In another embodiment, the particulate-coated article is coated with a liquid fatty material.
