ABSTRACT:
A method of drying a plurality of confection pieces, such as marshmallow bits, having a high volume density and outer surfaces which are adhesive at elevated temperature and moisture levels. A high volume density group of confection pieces at elevated moisture levels is heated while being fluidically transported with an air flow and while being vibrated until the moisture content thereof is reduced by one-half. The confection pieces are thereafter cooled with a cooler air flow, with the fluidized transport and vibration being continued throughout the cooling step.
