    Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing a cellular chocolate product in which a supply of chocolate is heated to bring it to a molten state, a gas which is largely soluble in the chocolate is introduced into the molten chocolate under pressure, the molten chocolate is fed under pressure into a mixing device having closely adjacent relatively movable parts, the mixing device is operated to disperse the gas uniformly, so that it is dissolved throughout the molten chocolate, the liquid chocolate is passed through a restricted orifice to release the pressure suddenly to atmosphere, so that the dissolved gas forms gaseous bubbles in the chocolate and the liquid chocolate is solidified into a finally resulting chocolate product by cooling.
