It is. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a chocolate confectionery 4 manufactured by the above method and having a pattern 2 on its uneven surface.

FIG. 4 shows a method for manufacturing patterned chocolate confectionery that is different from the method described above, and in the methods shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 above, the first fluid chocolate 4 has not yet solidified. A second film 12 having a concavo-convex portion that matches the concavo-convex portion of the second mold 14 is stacked and fixed with the concavo-convex portions facing each other, and the whole is cooled by rotation and die-cut. A hollow patterned chocolate confectionery shown in the figure is manufactured. In this case, the first mold 13
The uneven shape of the first film 1 and the uneven shapes of the second mold 14 and the second film 11 do not necessarily have to be the same shape, and it is sufficient that they are located at positions corresponding to each other.

FIG. 5 shows yet another method for manufacturing patterned chocolate confectionery, in which a third method is shown in which through-holes 6 are provided at positions corresponding to the uneven portions in addition to those shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 above. The mold 15 is placed, the second fluid chocolate material is filled into the through hole, and the first and second fluid chocolate materials are cooled and solidified as one body, and then released from the mold and shown in FIG. Make a solid patterned chocolate like 8. For the first and second chocolates, for example, the first chocolate material is white chocolate to clearly show the surface pattern, and the second chocolate material is brown, red, pink, or purple made by adding coloring to white chocolate. It can also be made into colors such as.

In the present embodiment described above, the printed pattern was applied by silk printing, which is a type of screen printing method, but the pattern is not limited to this and other screen printing methods may be used. In addition, as the ink material used for printing, non-toxic edible ink that is melted and colored in the form of mud or cream and has good printability is used. For example, the edible ink includes a thickening stabilizer, sucrose fatty acid ester, propylene glycol, calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, edible yellow No. 4 lake, edible yellow No. 5 lake, water, glycerin fatty acid ester, vegetable hydrogenated oil, and silicone resin. (antifoaming agent),
