ABSTRACT The present invention provides a process for making a food product such as a snack in the form of a coherent cellular body. The snack may have a solid centre and can be coated in chocolate. The basic raw materials are edible particles which are made from a homogeneous sub- stantially amorphous dried gel and which are either all dried gel or have an inner core of a different material, preferably non-thermoexpansible. The process involves partially filling a mould with the particles and then subjecting the particles to heat shock. The mould is perforate or otherwise designed to allow any gases generated to escape and the heat shock, e.g. pulsed air at 200°C for 20 seconds, brings about the simultaneous explosive puffing and sintering of the particles to give the cellular coherent product. The products, particularly those based on a wheat/skimmed milk formulation, are crisp, palatable, and have good consumer acceptability.
