Production of sweets: the main stages + what equipment needs to be purchased + the choice of raw materials + what is needed to register an LLC or individual entrepreneur + lease of premises for a plant + search for full-time employees + where to sell products + when the sweet business will pay off.
Even in the midst of the financial crisis, candy production is in demand.
This business idea is quite universal: you can do it even at home, purchasing only raw materials and a variety of candy molds. The only drawback of this format is that you cannot prepare a lot of goods for sale on your own, without the help of special equipment you cannot.
In this article, we will tell you how to start your sweet business in Russia by organizing a mini-plant, if you expect to receive significant income from your activities.
Organizational issues for opening a "candy" business ...
First of all, you should think about legalizing your business, i.e. visit the Internal Revenue Service.
If you are going to trade in small lots, then it is enough to pay taxes according to the simplified system. Registration will take about a week. Don't forget to pay the state fee of RUB 800! As a result, you will receive documents on the registration of an individual entrepreneur, an extract from the USRIP.
If you are ambitious and intend to provide the whole country with chocolates, then it is better to become a legal entity. Suppliers and retail chains make better contact with LLC, they conclude contracts more boldly.
Read more about registration of LLC on the website of the Tax Office: https://www.nalog.ru/rn77/yul/interest/reg_yl
To obtain the status of an LLC, you will need the following package of documents:
Until this moment, you must decide on a legal address. It can even be a private house or apartment, but it is still better to buy or rent non-residential premises.
After receiving the documents (registration certificate, extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities), you must order a seal and open a bank account.
Any business related to food must receive approval from authorities such as SES and Rospotrebnadzor:
Rospotrebnadzor.
Experts will check your candy production technology. If everything is normal, then the supervision will issue a quality certificate.
SES and fire inspection.
They check the premises and equipment for compliance with standards. The building where the production takes place and the equipment is located must have a fire system, an alarm system, ventilation, an evacuation plan, fire extinguishers, etc.
Be sure to make sure that the workers of your production have a medical book and pass the medical examination on time.
At this stage, you need to spend about 20,000 rubles. This amount includes equipping the premises with the necessary fire-fighting equipment, tax payments and other expenses when obtaining permits from state authorities.
Rent of premises for a plant
The plant will need a room of at least 60 m2, because the equipment is large and takes up a lot of space. In addition, employees need a place for changing rooms and for lunch breaks.
If you only plan to produce chocolates and sell through intermediaries, then you can look for premises outside the city. If you want to both produce and sell in the same building, then you have to look for an area near which there is a lot of traffic.
Rent of premises for the production of sweets - from 80,000 rubles.
Common candy production technology
An aspiring businessman who has decided to delight people with the preparation of sweets must know by what technology they are produced:
| Stage 1. | We prepare the confectionery mass. It contains sugar, agar, water, molasses, milk, butter, food additives (dyes and flavorings). Depending on the type of candy you make, the ratio of ingredients, mixing temperature of the composition, consistency, etc. will change. |
| Stage 2. | This is where we start shaping the candy. To do this, you need to pour the mass into sifted, and, most importantly, dried corn starch. It helps form the body of the candy and removes excess moisture from the surface. It is important to maintain the correct casting temperature. For each type of candy it has its own: |
| Stage 3. | Glazing of sweets. This process is not so important, because you can do without it. But it is worth knowing that it is used not only to create special taste. First of all, the glaze is used to keep the candies fresh longer and not harden. Chocolate is usually used as it, but when it is used, under the influence of time, a white coating can form on the candy. It is harmless, but spoils the appearance of the product a little. If you use confectionery glaze, then plaque will not form, because it does not have fat sagging. |
| Stage 4. | The technology for the production of sweets is completed at the drying stage. The formed candies are sent to a special chilled chamber so that the icing or chocolate hardens and the body becomes structured. |
Production chocolates described above is a certain standard, but not strict rules. After all, you can make caramels and candies for sale, and then the recipe will be completely different.
It is necessary to store finished products at a temperature within the range of + 5-18 ° C, indoor air humidity - 75%.
Necessary equipment for the production of sweets
In the table below, you will see a rough list of what equipment you might need to make chocolate candy. We have offered a ready-made and complete line for consideration.
If you are an experienced entrepreneur and want to purchase the equipment separately, you will need a cooker, a refrigerator, and a chamber for drying and shaping sweets. But it is worth noting that such a step is not always a guarantee of savings, but more often even the other way around.
1. Basic equipment.
| Name | Qty | Price, rub.) |
|---|---|---|
| Total: | 8,018,000 rubles | |
| Complete line for the production of sweets, which includes: ball mill; tempering machine; kindling container; conche machine; refrigeration unit; line for packaging.  | 1 | 8 000 000 |
| Packing tape | 5 rolls | 18 000 |
2. Furniture for staff.
| Name | Qty | Price, rub.) |
|---|---|---|
| Total: | 81,100 rubles | |
Office table  | 3 | 6 000 |
| Chairs | 3 | 2 400 |
Notebook  | 3 | 60 000 |
| Locker room for workers | 1 | 8 000 |
| Uniform for shop employees (headdress and dressing gown) | 10 | 4 000 |
| Landline telephone | 2 | 700 |
Purchase of raw materials for the production of sweets
Each type of candy is made according to its own recipe, so it is impossible to say which raw materials you will need.
Below we list only the most essential ingredients for making sweets, which are used in most cases:
You can add peanuts, nougat, marmalade to candies. Then you will have to purchase additional raw materials, but in insignificant quantities in comparison with the main ingredients.
The purchase of raw materials must be coordinated with the production technologist.
Search for workers for the production of chocolate sweets
A small workshop will need at least 4 workers who will work in shifts. It's good if people have experience in this area. If you have not found qualified personnel, you will have to allocate an amount from the budget for short-term training courses for employees.
In addition, you will need an accountant, a technologist who will oversee production, and a product sales and advertising manager on an ongoing basis.
Sales of products
The best advertisement is the quality of your chocolates. If the product tastes good, people will quickly spread word of it. But to launch word of mouth, you need to find contact points with your first customers.
The main task of the founder or managers is to find partners who will sell the plant's products in stores. To do this, you need to personally meet with the owners of outlets, discuss all the terms of the transaction, etc.
You can sell chocolates without intermediaries. To do this, buy counters, get permission from SES, fire inspection and Rospotrebnadzor. It is better to hire a salesperson, since if you are also engaged in sales yourself, there will be no time for administrative work.
But spending money on advertising is not worth it, unless you order the development of your factory logo and candy labels to specialists. This will cost about 5,000 rubles. It is also worth creating a website, but at the initial stages of promotion this is not a necessity.
Handmade sweets as a business idea.
How to start your own production? Sweet business.
Candy production - let's talk about profitability ...
As you can see, the opening of even a small factory for the production of chocolates will cost a tidy sum - from 9,000,000 rubles.Specifically, this amount includes:
Now let's talk about the cost of production. 1 without additives will cost the plant 500 rubles. This amount takes into account not only the payment for raw materials, but also other related expense items (taxes, utilities, etc.)
How much does a 40-60 gram bar of chocolate cost? Approximately 100 rubles. From a kilogram of chocolate, we get about 25 candy bars, i.e. more than 2000 rubles of income.
The production of sweets will pay off in 2-3 years with a competent approach to it. If the business becomes successful, then a month you can receive a net income of 200-400,000 rubles.
Summing up, I would like to focus on the pros and cons of the production of sweets in Russia:
| Dignity | disadvantages |
|---|---|
| You can start a business at home. If there is demand, then you can open a small pastry shop. | If you want to set up a factory, even a small one, you will need a large start-up investment. |
| There is always demand. | High competition in the market with popular confectionery factories in the country. |
| There are many ready-made recipe, you can also come up with new technologies for the production of sweets. | It is necessary to frequently change the assortment in order to amaze customers. |
| High business profitability. | Rospotrebnadzor and SES will be frequent guests at the production site. |
Consider all the nuances and carefully study the market before starting a business.

One of the main brands of the Saratov region is the confectionery factory "Saratovskaya", its abbreviated name is JSC "KONSAR". It is better known as Confashion. Let's talk a little about the factory today, and at the same time see how sweets are made.
The factory has existed for many years - it dates back to 1930, when in the form of an artel named after. Rosa Luxemburg was located in the city center (at the corner of Radishchev and Kutyakov Streets). Now the factory has a different address, and its assortment is wider.
Why is the factory one of the main brands in the region? So after all, its products are sold in most regions of Russia (more than 60 constituent entities of the country), as well as abroad (export is made to 12 countries of the former USSR, except for the Baltic countries, as well as to China and the USA). And in 2015, the factory became the best exporter of the region. But despite this, the factory is more of a regional manufacturer.

Let's take a look at the production of the factory's main commodity, candy. Confectioners call this type of production sugar. So, all significant sugar confectionery products are produced at Konsar: chocolates, caramel, toffee and jelly Bean... They also sort gift sets. The products are constantly being updated.
Information stand for workers 
The factory produces 18.5 thousand tons of sugar products per year on 14 production lines. By the way, the equipment at the factory is both domestic and foreign (Italian, German and Swiss). Equipment of different years, there is already old one. But it does its job well and there is no need to change it. In addition, all equipment undergoes periodic maintenance.
Although it should be said that the factory is constantly working to improve the quality of the assortment and the variety of the assortment. Therefore, new equipment is also bought - to open new lines. So, recently a line of sweets "One Shot" was opened with the most modern equipment of Italian origin. The peculiarity of this line is that the filling and the body are formed simultaneously. 
And now let's get acquainted with the process of candy production itself. We will start the excursion from workshop No. 6 (there are 7 workshops in total in the factory, in which there are 40 lines for the production and packaging of confectionery products). This is a workshop for the production of the most expensive products - assorted chocolates, which are also used for gift sets (see the title photo). By the way, the factory produces about 1.5 million of these sets per year. For such sweets, by the way, real cocoa butter is used.
Start of the line - a machine with empty molds for sweets embedded in it 
The workshop has 2 production lines (both German) - Knobel
and Yubitek
.
Yubitek
is a line for the production of sweets with assorted fillings. It produces chocolates with a variety of fillings. Moreover, the forms of sweets are very diverse. Examples of sweets of this line are sweets and sets of sweets "Confessional de Luxe", "Overture", "Miracle nut", "Cherry in chocolate".
And on the line Knobel
make jigging sweets - sweets based on marzipan, truffle and praline.
As mentioned above, sweets have different shapes: a basket, a bottle, a hemisphere, etc. It depends on the terms of reference received on the line. Each form has its own dose chocolate glaze... Glaze, by the way, is also different. The factory uses bitter, milk and white chocolate for the glaze.
This is what a press looks like for giving the future candy different shapes. Now the simplest forms are being made - hemispherical. 
The process of creating a candy is as follows: first, the machine forms the body of the candy (just the photo above), then the body comes in a cooling tunnel (10-14 degrees Celsius), then the filling is poured into the body. The filling and glaze are prepared ahead of time - in another workshop.
Top photo - a machine for shaping (on the right you can see finished products - then a conveyor line). Bottom right photo - the body of the candy after cooling. 
There are 2 filling machines installed on the line (photo below) - in order to quickly switch from one to another when the raw material runs out. It also allows you to make sweets with two fillings at the same time. 
And now the body of the candy is filled with filling. 
And this is what marriage looks like. Such candies do not go on sale - they are processed for subsequent production (for example, they are used to fill waffles). 
After filling with the filling, the bottom of the candy is made. To do this, the sweets are slightly warmed up (to melt the top a little), and then poured with chocolate and flattened. 
End view 
And at the very end of the line, the candies are “shaken out” of the mold and put on pallets for further sorting.
Some of the products go to the packaging line, and some to the warehouses.
Let's take a look at the packaging line first. Here, first, the sweets enter the wrapping machine. There are several such machines, each with its own wrapping.
General view of the machine

Then, the wrapped sweets go to the packaging and packing. 
Here we see the weight packaging of truffles.

The kingdom of various sweets 
Sweets are numbered here: each type is in a special tray under its own number. 
And already according to these numbers, the process of assembling the kit is going on. 
This is where various gift sets are formed: seasonal, festive and thematic. These are - in the form of assorted 
Or such 
The residents of the region can buy the products of the factory both in federal chain stores and in their own branded outlets (for example, in the well-known Chudesnitsa stores). Also, the factory has created an online store, which distinguishes the factory from others. This store is little known to the people of Saratov, and in vain - all ordered products will be delivered to your home free of charge. True, there are limitations there (for example, the minimum order value is 700 rubles), but a bonus system is provided.
By the way, the work clothes of the employees are strictly monitored here: white robes are strictly over all clothes and mandatory hats. 
But candy is not the only thing that is made at the factory. The flour production of confectionery products is also presented here, which we will talk about next time.
Business idea: production of sweets at home.
A profitable business is the production of sweets, you can start at home with minimal investment by purchasing only the necessary molds for making sweets and the actual ingredients.
You can sell it to local chocolate shops, small cozy cafes, negotiate with the organizers of the celebrations to promote sweets at events, and also create your own website or VKontakte group to sell goods. To draw attention to sweets, order beautiful shiny wrappers.
Only venerable candy factories supply sweets to the Russian market. There are no private producers on the candy market. It's surprising, because in every city there are many small bakeries in which cakes and pastries are prepared, but no one prepares homemade sweets, only mothers and grandmothers in the kitchens.
Huge profits are received by factories for the production of sweets of dubious taste and composition. But the production of homemade candy can be a profitable business.
Before starting the production of sweets, you must decide that you are interested in this business, that you, as a perfumer, are ready to invent new flavoring bouquets. You must have your own secret recipe.
If there is none, you definitely need to come up with, subtract, modernize, come up with a legend that you got this recipe from your great-great-grandmother, who made sweets according to this recipe even at the royal court. It is important to create a mystery and a fairy tale around sweets, because we all come from childhood.
You can start making candy in your kitchen. Over time, you will be able to open a small confectionery... You will not compete with large concerns, because the scale of your production will be several times smaller, because your sweets will be handmade.
But you will have to buy equipment for the production of sweets and kitchen utensils, you cannot do without molds and special devices. Packaging is a separate expense item. Each candy can be wrapped in a designer wrapper, if you do not have your own design abilities, you can order development for a fee. By the way, the appearance of sweets can be "copied" from foreign sites.
Be sure to have a variety of boxes for packing sweets in your arsenal. Gift wrapping is the key to the success of your business. After all, most people will buy products as a gift.
Learn the technology of candy production, chat with professional confectioners on the forums. You may not have a professional education, but you should be able to cook deliciously. Come up with some candy recipes, it can be chocolates, lean sweets from dried fruits and nuts, organic lollipops.
You can deliver your products to confectionery kiosks in the city, to gift shops, just keep in mind that home-made sweets are quickly perishable, so most sweets will have to be made to order. This can be a chain of cafes and restaurants or a company that serves special events. Opening your own store is too expensive, especially at the initial stage of business development. Create an "appetizing" website on the Internet, offer your work on it.
Make bouquets of sweets, focus on natural ingredients. During the holiday period, take orders in advance, take on a part-time job New Year and on March 8, couriers and confectioners who will help you not to miss customers, please everyone, not lose income.
Russians traditionally love sweets. Our country is one of the leading countries in the world in terms of confectionery consumption. The average Russian's spending on sweets in 2017 amounted to almost 7.1 thousand rubles. In such conditions, the production of sweets is a very promising business line. Even in a highly competitive environment, a quality product will find its buyer.
The article will tell you how to open a mini candy workshop. We will also consider the stages of business development and provide calculations of the business payback.
Brief Market Analysis
Most of the products presented on store shelves - more than 93% - are produced in the Russian Federation.
The consumption of sweets and other confectionery products is now at a high level, even despite the decline in Russians' incomes after the 2014 crisis. Now Russians consume 4.5 kg / year, up to 2014 - 5.1 kg / year (per person).
In 2017, the total consumption amounted to almost 3.5 thousand tons (4% higher than in 2016). In 2018, purchases of sweets increased to 3.6 thousand tons.
The consumption level and forecast up to 2015 can be estimated in the following table:

What operations make up the candy production process: technology
The manufacturing process depends on what kind of candy is made. The composition, form, stages of production, lists of required equipment differ.
There are several production stages:
- Production of candy mass. It includes water, sugar, milk, molasses, butter, and various additives.
- Formation. There are several methods for molding. One of the most common is pouring the mass into cornstarch. The temperature at which the process takes place depends on the type of candy.
- Glazing of confectionery. Thanks to the glaze, the product stays fresh and delicate for longer.
- Drying. In special equipment, the goods are cooled, structured, and solidified.
- Package. The product is packed in a wrapper or box.
We will tell you more about the preparation of popular types of sweets below.
Caramel
The production of caramel requires inexpensive equipment, it does not differ in complexity.
First, sugar-treacle syrup, caramel mass are created. It can be prepared by mixing sugar in a solution under pressure or by mixing with molasses to the desired consistency and moisture content. After the mass is processed - it is cooled, aromatized, washed and stretched.
Fillings are added depending on the recipe. Different ingredients are used to produce different types of caramel.
At the next stage, the products are formed and cooled. The finished caramel is wrapped, sprinkled, glossy, coated or glazed with chocolate. After that, the finished product is sent for packaging.
Truffles
Truffle candies can be made as follows:
- Create a semi-finished product - chocolate mass crushed to powder with the required fat content.
- To prepare the chocolate mass, chocolate and butter (cocoa, coconut) are poured into the equipment. The machine mixes the components thoroughly.
- The resulting composition is tempered - hardens within a few hours.
- The candy mass gets lost in special vehicles.
- Then the truffles are formed. They are kept in cooling machines until they reach a stable shape.
- At the final stage, the candy shells are sprinkled.
- The goods arrive at the packing department.
The truffle is more difficult to prepare. Here, both the recipe and the quality of the ingredients are of great importance. The equipment for such production is quite expensive.
Dragee
Dragee production is also not very difficult. The peculiarity of these sweets is their hard shells. There are several types of cases (depending on the hardness). The pills themselves are made from a fine-crystalline substance obtained by churning a sugar-treacle mass.
There are three main stages in the production of dragees:
- preparation of hulls;
- their pelleting;
- glossing.
The mass is molded, rolled in starch, tempered until a body of the required hardness is formed around the dragee. Then the products are coated - that is, they are covered with powder, glaze. At the stage of glossing, the product is covered with a moisture-proof wax-fat composition.
Equipment for the production of dragees is inexpensive and pays off quickly enough.
Where to start a business?
The main expense item at the organizational stage is a production line capable of producing quality sweets. It needs to be delivered to the factory and installed - the cost of this work is borne by the businessman.
Table 2. Initial Costs for a Candy Business.
The calculations are relevant for a city with a population of up to 1 million people. Additional costs include utility bills, advertising, redecoration, packaging design, development and printing.
registration
You can register a candy house in the form of an individual entrepreneur (individual) or LLC (legal entity). The first option is suitable if the entrepreneur plans to trade in small batches. The second allows you to increase the volume of production and the scale of activity - it becomes easier to negotiate with retail chains on the sale of your product.
When registering with the Federal Tax Service, the OKVED code 10.82.2 "Production of chocolate and sugar confectionery" is indicated.
After preparing the first batch of goods, it should be submitted for inspection to Rospotrebnadzor. He tests products, checks the manufacturing technology for compliance with the standards of GOST 4570-2014 “Sweets. General technical conditions ". If everything is in order, a certificate of conformity is issued.
Purchase of ingredients
The cost of raw materials depends on the type of sweets and their recipes. All procurement issues must be coordinated with a technologist who knows what ingredients are needed to create a quality product.
Common raw materials for candy production:
- sugar;
- cocoa butter, cocoa powder (base);
- eggs;
- milk;
- syrup;
- gelatin;
- agar;
- vanilla and other flavors;
- nuts, plant seeds, berries, fruits (for filling).
It is important to buy high quality raw materials for production. This improves the quality of the finished product. Remember that competition is fierce - only delicious candies will be in steady demand.
Equipment for the production of sweets
Our business plan is for the purchase of a candy production line, consisting of:
- ball mill;
- tempering machine;
- tanks for kindling;
- conche machines;
- refrigeration unit;
- lines for packaging.
You will also need to purchase molds.
This equipment provides automation of the candy making process, performs all the necessary sequence of actions. Mixes and ingredients are loaded manually. Line productivity - up to 150 kg per hour. Power - up to 40 kW.
The manufacturing company is engaged in installation and training of workers. Equipment for a mini workshop can be purchased in Russia or China, if funds are available - in Germany.
Premises
To organize a mini-plant, you will need an area of 250 sq. m. Set up here:
- Work shop with equipment. The production line takes up a lot of space. In the workshop, it is necessary to equip ventilation systems, three-phase current, water supply, sewerage, heating.
- Warehouses for finished products and raw materials.
- Premises for staff (recreation room, changing room).
- Administrative room.
- Bathroom.
Geographically, it is better to locate the plant far enough from residential areas - perhaps on the outskirts or in an industrial area (where rent is cheaper). This arrangement will allow you to quickly deliver goods to stores. The plant must have a convenient transport access.
Pass the checks of the SES and the fire inspection. The services will check the workshop for compliance with the mandatory requirements.
Staff
To open a small production does not require a large staff of workers. The production line is automated - the employees only have to manage the work process, load the equipment with raw materials on time, and ensure the continuity of the process.
For the first time, 4 workers on the line are enough. Two more will be required for warehouse work.
The technologist / shop manager will manage the personnel, as well as the quality of production. Its main tasks are acceptance of the finished product, assessment of its quality. You will have to look for a technologist - a person with experience is needed for this position.
For reporting, invite an accountant. At first, he can be hired part-time or outsourced.
Marketing and sales
You can sell sweets through your store or through retail chains. It is advisable to open your own outlet only in a favorable place and with sufficient funds.
A businessman will have to make an effort to interest people, to induce them to buy a new product:
- Create a brand. People remember something simple, but at the same time bright and effective. Branding is an important point.
- If you have sufficient capital, you can order advertising on TV screens, place posters on billboards in the city, use the media to spread information about a new product, a new brand.
- Run promotions, discounts and tastings in stores. Order competent merchandising. Conduct actions through groups on social networks.
Financial plan: calculations of profitability and payback
The amount of initial costs is 9.78 million rubles.
Equipment productivity - 150 kg / h. For an 8-hour shift, 1.2 tons can be produced. According to the plan, the plant will work in one shift 22 days a month. The volume of production for this period is 26.4 tons of sweets.
The price varies greatly depending on the type and quality of the candies. For example, one of the lowest wholesale prices is taken - 130 rubles. per kg. With the sale of all products manufactured in a month, you can get a little over 3.4 million rubles.
The total amount of monthly expenses is 1.1 million rubles.
Net profit will amount to RUB 2.3 million.
A candy business can pay off in 4.2 months. This can be achieved by fully loading the equipment and selling all the goods created in a month. For new production, the payback period can be increased 3 times - up to 12.6 months.
Table 3. Business case for a business idea.
The production of sweets in our own factory can be safely called a profitable business. The figures given in the table clearly demonstrate this. Of course, this is an approximate calculation - it does not take into account tax deductions and several other cost items.
Before opening, it is necessary to carefully study the specifics of the market and consumer behavior. For example, sweets are more often bought for the holidays, they also sell well in the cold season, when sweets go to hot tea. Taking these features into account will help in promoting and increasing sales.
Candy is a product that almost all people love. For this reason, many people who want to start their own business pay attention to this product. The fact is that the confectionery market is quite resistant to various economic fluctuations. Gifts, purchases for children, and personal preferences make this segment very attractive among a relatively large number of buyers. In the event that you still firmly decided to open your own business in this area, then the first thing you cannot do without is without a line for the production of sweets.
Candy production technology
In order to have an idea of how a line for the production of various types of sweets functions, you need to have an idea of some basic concepts.
First, you need to decide what these favorite sweets are all about. So, sweets are confectionery products that are obtained from candy masses with a soft consistency.
Ingredient mixing apparatus This product has a rather high nutritional value, has more than 1,000 varieties and is diverse in shape, taste and composition.
The technological process of making sweets includes several stages:
- The first stage is the mixing of the ingredients that are included in the fondant mass.
- Further, the resulting mixture is formed and cast into special molds.
- At the next stage, the forms with the fondant mass are run through the cooling system.
- Then the glazing takes place.
- The final stage is product packaging.
Cooking candy masses
Formation of candies from fondant mass Candy mass is a confectionery mass that is used to prepare sweets. They are all divided into:
- Fondant. They are obtained from lipstick, which is prepared on the basis of sugar and milk syrups by introducing various flavoring and aromatic additives into it.
- Praline and marzipan. Praline masses are obtained from roasted nuts, and marzipan masses are obtained from raw or roasted ones.
- Whipped. These masses are obtained in the process of churning foaming agents and syrup and with the obligatory introduction of flavoring and aromatic additives.
- Liqueur. These are masses, which are saturated solutions of sucrose, to which milk, fruit preparations, flavoring and aromatic additives are added, and alcohol (cognac, liqueur, etc.) is an obligatory component.
- Roasted nuts. All roasted masses are divided into hard and soft. Hard roasted nuts - a mass obtained by melting sugar with the addition of nuts to it (for example, Prometheus sweets come out of the confectionery production line). Soft roasted nuts - a fruit mass that is boiled with nuts or candied fruits.
- Cream. These are foamy masses that were formed as a result of churning the latter with fats, flavoring and aromatic additives, milk syrup.
- Fruit jelly. These masses are distinguished by a jelly-like structure and are divided into fruit, jelly-fruit and jelly. Fruit is obtained from fruit and berry puree; jelly-fruit - from the same puree as the first, but with the addition of agar, and jelly - with the addition of agar, agaroid and starch.
Candy molding
Candy forming line Molding is the process of giving candy to a specific shape and appearance. Most often, on lines for the production of sweets, this process is carried out by the casting method, because thanks to this, sweets of various shapes can be obtained. Such molding is carried out in special forms, which are pre-stamped in starch. 
Candy glazing line Glazing is carried out for several reasons at once. Firstly, this process protects the product body from external influences, and secondly, it increases nutritional value the product, thirdly, gives a beautiful appearance and, fourthly, affects the taste. Glazing is the process of coating a candy with a thin layer of various masses (chocolate, fat and others).
Packaging and storage
Candy packaging line This is the final stage when wrapping and packaging of the final product is carried out on the line for the production of sweets. The final product is wrapped in foil or label. Most of the sweets are produced in wrapped or packaged form. Finished products are stored at temperatures up to +18 degrees, air humidity should not exceed 75% in a well-ventilated area.
Chocolate sweets production technology
If we talk about lines for the production of chocolates, then they are all automated and highly mechanized, with the exception of expensive sweets made exclusively by hand.
Handmade sweets The production of this beloved sweet product takes place in special factories in confectionery shops, therefore, at the initial stages of opening your business in this area, you need to think over and study a lot of subtleties concerning both the technological side of the issue and the legal one.
