Abstract: A chain die assembly for producing candy includes a plurality of first chain links each including a cutting edge, a plurality of second chain links each including a cutting edge and a common longitudinal center plane. A plurality of guiding housings is arranged right and left of the longitudinal center plane, and they each carry at least one die. A plurality of shafts each connects one of the first chain links to one of the second chain links and to the guiding housings. The second chain links each are fixedly connected to at least one of the guiding housings to be free from backlash and to be unrotatable with respect to the guiding housing.
