Components of Chocolate Confectionary

Components of Chocolate Confectionary
There is almost no limit to the range of ingredients that a confectioner will consider when designing a new product. But the most common pallet of components used in combination with chocolate for the manufacture of confectionary products is broadly as follows:

• Cookies and wafers
• Cereals
• Nuts
• Fruits
• Caramels/fudges
• Fondants
• Nougatine

It is obvious that combinations of some or all of these components can yield a colossal number of products most of which could fit a snack definition.

What is not so obvious is how to combine them in a way that will lead to a successful multimillion-dollar brand.

One factor that does appear to be important is complexity of eat, reflected in a succession of changing taste and texture as the product is chewed.

But such complexity is not necessary achieved by complicated recipe nor by an intricate manufacturing processes.
