  • Patent number: 5407691
    Abstract: A method for making candy in which a high-resolution image of edible material is imprinted on another edible material, both of which are, in the preferred embodiment, chocolate. The invention includes steps of measuring heated chocolate into a mold, and allowing it to cool to a proper temperature. A screen mesh is laid over partially cooled chocolate pieces, and another chocolate, preferably of a different color than the chocolate pieces, is applied through the mesh. By using a proper combination of materials and conditions, a highly pleasing image is formed, supporting the attractiveness of the resulting candy, especially as a novelty item or souvenir.
