ABSTRACT:
A process and apparatus are disclosed to form fine patternation and alphanumeric characters of colored cocoa butter in a flush chocolate surface. The apparatus provides a printing sheet defining shallow indentations wherein cocoa butter patternation is deposited by screen printing without disfiguration, and an associated mold plate defining cavities to cast chocolate over the printing sheet indentations. The process comprises the steps of (1) screen printing colored cocoa butter in appropriate pattern on the surface of the printing plate indentations; (2) aging the configured cocoa butter; (3) aligning the mold matrices in adjacency with the printing sheet indentations; (4) filling the mold matrices with thermally plasticized settable chocolate; (5) aging the molded chocolate until set; and (6) removing the molded chocolate structure and embedded patternation for further disposition. The process produces well defined embedded patterns on smaller chocolate structures.
