Abstract: In a first aspect the application discloses a confectionery product in the form of a segmented bar comprising a substantially planar raft and a series of discrete raised portions projecting therefrom and separated by channels, wherein the raft is of non-uniform thickness. In a second aspect the application discloses a process for producing a segmented confectionery product comprising a) creating a prototype segmented confectionery product design; b) creating a stress profile of said prototype confectionery product design; c) creating a modified design by increasing thickness of the raft in areas prone to breakage in the prototype design; and d) producing a confectionery product according to the modified design.
