Filled, laminated hard candies are old-fashioned multilayered candies with a crunchy texture that are produced by repeated stretching and folding.The obtained multilayered candy is wrapped in a thin, clear or milky sugar mass envelope before being stamped into individual candies.To increase the crunchy texture of the candies the sugar mass can be pulled. The production of filled, laminated candies requires extensive experience in candy practice, especially the art of handling a high-boiled hot sugar mass. In particular, rapid handling at the different manufacturing steps is required to avoid any temperature variation of the sugar mass and the filling. Temperature variation leads to a loss of the required plasticity of the sugar mass and the filling. A temperature that is too low can cause the filled hard candy to break, and the filling to burst out.
