A product invention that relates to an aerated confection containing a texture modifier and a saccharide mass, that comprises a backbone saccharide, a stability saccharide, and optionally a lubricant saccharide. The saccharides are chosen such that the saccharides will have a fluid molten structure that will create a stable aerated mass after extrusion with carbon dioxide. The texture modifier is added to vary the texture of the aerated confection, including making the hard confection chewy thereby extending the consumer's enjoyment of the confection. The invention also relates to the method of making the stable aerated confections with extrusion processing using super critical carbon dioxide.
