Abstract: A centrefilled confectionery composition comprises a centrefill component enclosed in a confectionery shell component. At least one of the components is aerated, and the densities of the centrefill and the shell are substantially equal. The confectionery shell component may comprise jelly candy or hard-boiled candy. A method of making a centrefilled confectionery composition, comprising a centrefill enclosed in a confectionery shell, comprises preparation of first and second syrups for forming the confectionery shell and centrefill respectively. The densities of the first and second syrups are compared, and the denser of the two syrups is aerated to reduce the density to a level comparable to the density of the other syrup. The first and second syrups are then co-deposited into a mould so that the first syrup forms a confectionery shell enclosing a centrefill formed by the second syrup.
