Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically and continuously making solid filled confections, such as chocolate nut clusters, which have an irregular homemade appearance. The illustrated machine includes a plurality of extrusion tubes each having a screw type auger, a supply for separate streams of nuts and hot fluid chocolate into each extrusion tube, elements for rotating and oscillating the auger to thoroughly mix the fluid chocolate and nuts that are introduced into the tube and transfer the mixture to an extrusion orifice, and reciprocatable cutting blades located adjacent the extrusion orifice of each extrusion tube for successively cutting the extruded mixture into discrete pieces of predetermined size which thereupon drop onto a moving conveyor surface below.
