Abstract

Shaped fat-based confectionery articles are prepared by extruding and issuing a fat-based confectionery substance, particularly set chocolate, under pressure and at a temperature below the pour point of the substance into a mold cavity having at least one cavity surface lined with a lining material so that the lined mold cavity is filled with extrudate, releasing the mold from the extrusion pressure and demolding the lining material and molded article.
