Zusammenfassung:A soft candy is disclosed, which comprises erythritol, a sugar or a sugar alcohol other than erythritol, a fat and an emulsifier. A process for producing a soft candy is also disclosed, which comprises concentrating a mixture of erythritol with a sugar or a sugar alcohol other than erythritol and water by heating, adding a fat, in which an emulsifier has been dispersed, thereto and homogeneously kneading the resulting mixture. The soft candy of the present invention comprising erythritol as the main sweetening component is not coarse but smooth in texture. In addition, it is low-caloric and low-corrosive compared with the existing ones containing sucrose.
