Methods for extruding a product are provided. In particular, a method for producing a striped confectionery product is provided. The method includes co-extruding at least two base products to form a co-extruded product stream comprising generally parallel layers of said base products extending laterally across a flow path； dividing the layered co-extruded product stream into at least two separate sub-streams, each sub-stream containing layers of said at least two base products； rotating said sub-streams about each other to re-orientate layers in one of said sub-streams relative to said layers in at least one other of said sub-streams； and recombining said re-oriented sub-streams of co-extruded product to form a single recombined product stream comprising an increased number of generally parallel layers of said base products when compared with said initial co-extruded product stream.
