Abstract: A method for preparing edible food flavoring pellets for incorporation in dry baking mixes or the like wherein the edible flavoring pellets have a substantial protein content and a reasonably high moisture content. The method includes the preparation of a homogeneous mixture of the selected formulation, forming integral pellets of the mixture, with the pellets thereafter being immersed in heated vegetable oil, preferably peanut oil for a predetermined immersion time. The thus treated material may thereafter be coated with a desirable coating formulation to provide the finished product.
