Calico
Food Ingredients is pleased to introduce Raven Manufacturing,
producers of Crackling Candy™ , to Canadian Food
manufacturers. Crackling Candy™ is an interactive
food designed to provide an effervescent crackling/popping
sensation when consumed.
Crackling
Candy™ is effectively carbonated hard candy granules
in which carbon dioxide has been entrapped in the hard
candy matrix. The entrapped gas is released when the
candy is exposed to moisture giving the fizzing and
crackling sensation kids love. Although the product
can be consumed as is, our aim is to offer it as an
ingredient or an inclusion in other food items. 
Crackling
Candy™ is ideal for inclusion into many different
products including:
- Chocolate
- Compound
Coatings
- Cream
Centers
- Chewing
Gum
- Panned
Confections
- Dry
Mixes
- Ice
Cream Novelties, Sodas and Floats
- Creme
Sandwich Cookies
- RTE
Yogurt and Puddings
- Your
Unique Ideas
When
considering the applicability of Crackling Candy™
for your product there are some considerations to keep
in mind.
Moisture
- since the product is a hard candy it needs
to be protected from excessive moisture. Raven Manufacturing
has developed a fat enrobed Crackling Candy™ to
reduce the effects of moisture in some applications.
Call us to discuss packaging and product options.
Heat
- Crackling Candy™ can withstand higher
levels of heat for short time periods but will begin
to deteriorate if the heating is excessive or the hold
time is relatively long. Our technical people can advise
you about the optimum processing conditions and work
with you to develop a practical manufacturing method.
Pressure
- Crackling Candy™ is an amorphous "glass"
type product. As a result it is relatively friable and
pressure will release the gas bubbles. We can advise
you as to the best handling methods to incorporate Crackling
Candy™ into your product.
