Extruded grain and protein crisp applications for confectionery

The application potential of PGP’s extruded grain and protein crisp technology is unlimited. With an ever-growing range, we’re always exploring new ways to create extruded crisp innovations that enhance the taste and texture of confectionery products. Every solution is tailored to engage the senses and boost enjoyment.

Snack bars

Crispy texture solutions play a pivotal role in enhancing chocolate bars, offering a satisfying crunch or chewy sensation. Our fully customizable extruded texture solutions create a contrast to the smooth, creamy consistency of chocolate, and add a new layer of sensory appeal in every bite. Ideal for brands seeking healthier, protein-packed crisp textures for their snack bars or for adding crispy and crunchy textures in chocolate bars and bites.

• Rice crisps bring a light, airy crunch that complements sweet and creamy chocolate profiles.
• Protein crisps, like pea or soy protein crisps, add crispiness and boost the protein content. 

Panned chocolate

Our extruded crisps can be used to create satisfying, crispy panned chocolate. From larger, crunchier chocolate-coated balls to smaller, crispy handfuls, we can create textures that deliver extra bite and delight every time. 

Healthy indulgence in confectionery

With consumers seeking out different approaches to healthy eating, and snacking becoming more prevalent, the demand for healthy indulgence is transforming the confectionery market. Consumers are seeking sweet treats with added health benefits as well as great taste. They want the balance of better-for-you ingredients with the complex tastes and texture to still deliver an exciting eating experience.

Extruded crisp texture solutions are a great way to provide a nutritional protein and texture in one go, making your products more appealing to health-conscious consumers.

Reach new confectionery markets with natural, nutritious ingredients

Extrusion techniques make it easier for manufacturers to incorporate texture and deliver exciting eating experiences. By incorporating pea, or soy crisps, you can add protein to meet the growing demand for nutritious and delicious confectionery. Our clean-label texture solutions can also help your brand reach customers seeking natural options. With our texture innovations, you can offer products that bring delight, excitement and indulgence as well as meeting the growing need for healthier, functional snacks.
