A system for manipulating the viscosity of confection compositions is provided including an electrical field generator, an electrical field applicator, and a viscosity manipulation chamber wherein the electrical field generator generates an electrical field with a strength of from about 3 kilovolts/cm to about 25 kilovolts/cm and wherein the electrical field applicator applies the electrical field to the viscosity manipulation channel continuously and in a direction that is parallel or perpendicular to a flow of a confection composition located in the viscosity manipulation chamber and wherein the confection composition has a protein content of from about 4% to about 9%. Confection compositions manipulated according to the system of the invention have an average particle size of between about 0.1 and 100 micrometers.
