Title: Topping for frozen desserts and method of manufacture

Abstract: An edible confection topping normally in liquid form which immediately hardens to form a brittle edible shell when applied to a frozen dessert (e.g., ice cream). The composition includes a normally liquid oil content and crystallized emulsifiers which seed rapid crystallization and hardening of the oil when the temperature of the product is lowered by contact with the frozen dessert. Also a method of manufacture in which micro-crystalline emulsifier is dispersed in a liquid mix of oil, sugar, corn syrup solids and milk solids. Cocoa or other flavoring materials are added along with coloring materials.
