The present invention relates to a gum composition exhibiting improved shelf life and resistance to staling, that comprises a substantially anhydrous mixture of a gum base, at least one sugar alcohol, and glycerin, the glycerin present in an amount ranging from greater than 10% to about 18% by weight of the composition. The gum composition preferably contains no more than 2% by weight of water. The invention includes a method for preparing the gum composition, comprising treating the ingredients thereof, including the glycerin, to remove substantially all water therefrom, thereafter combining the sugar alcohol with the glycerin under agitation and at about 50.degree. C., and adding subsequently thereto the gum base, after which certain additive materials, such as flavorings, and the like may be added with mixing.
