PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a foamable food sustaining strong foaming feeling for a long time, having good texture and appearance, exhibiting excellent durability against high temperature, having reduced unfavorable taste felt because of strong foaming feeling, and capable of being relished to the end, and to provide a method for producing the food.SOLUTION: The foamable food is produced by carrying out (1) a step of obtaining a core material by wrapping chocolate with a hard candy dough, and molding the product into an arbitrary size and shape, and (2) a step of adding a molten liquid of a solid fat onto the core material, and scattering a foamable components comprising a carbonate and an acid thereon before the molten liquid is solidified. The foamable food includes the core material and a foamable coating layer formed on the surface thereof. The core material comprises the hard candy including 5-30 wt.% of the chocolate, and the coating layer includes the carbonate, the acid and the solid fat wherein the content of the solid fat is changed in the direction of the thickness of the coating layer.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】強い発泡感が長く持続し、食感と外観とが良好で、高温に対する耐久性に優れ、しかも強い発泡感故に感じる雑味を緩和し、最後まで美味しく食せる発泡性食品及びその製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】(1)ハードキャンディ生地によりチョコレートを包み込み、任意の大きさ及び形状に成型して芯材を得る工程と、(2)前記芯材に固形脂の溶融液を添加し、前記溶融液が固化する前に、炭酸塩及び酸からなる発泡性成分を振り掛ける工程とを行うことで得られる発泡性食品であって、芯材とその表面に設けられる発泡性のコーティング層とを含み、芯材がチョコレート5~30重量%を内包するハードキャンディからなり、コーティング層が炭酸塩、酸及び固形脂を含有し、かつ固形脂含量がコーティング層の厚み方向において変化している。【選択図】なし
