ABSTRACT:
Gums and methods of producing gums are provided. The present invention includes a gum that has a coating layer composed of a bulk sweetener which has been formed by heating and/or searing the gum. The bulk sweetener on the surface of the gum becomes caramelized and subsequently cooled over time at desirable temperatures. The resultant coating layer includes a hardened and caramelized bulk sweetener that can enhance the flavor, the appearance, the mouthfeel and the overall recreational enjoyment of the gum during use.
