ABSTRACT:
A multi-piece food product (10) comprising a plurality of strands (12A-12K) that are extruded and aggregated to form an aesthetically pleasing food product is provided. A formulation used to make each of the strands (12A-12K) includes a mixture comprising at least 20% sweetener, at least 15% starchy material, and at least 1% fruit by weight based a total dry weight of the mixture to yield a starch-based confectionary food product. One process for forming the multi-piece food product (10) includes extruding a food stream from a slurry, dividing the food stream into three separate food streams (24A,24B), injecting color, flavor, and ascorbic acid into the food streams (24A,24B), conveying the food streams (24A,24B) into a former (26) and extruding the strands (12A-12K) therefrom, forming the strands (12A,12B) into an aggregate food mass (31), cooling the food mass (31), and cutting the food mass (31) into individual portions.
