Fat-based fillings: The 4 textures of indulgence
When it comes to pralines, tablets and countlines, the key to win consumers’ hearts is to make your creations extra indulgent. In pralines, the filling is what defines the experience, while in tablets and countlines you can enhance the pleasure by adding a filling for a multisensorial experience.
When it comes to fat-based confectionery fillings, one of the key aspects to master is texture. Thanks to our fat expertise and product know-how, we developed a range with 4 different textures:
- Classic Firm Fillings: softer than chocolate around them, these fillings are the easiest to work with.
- Fast-melting Fillings: also known as truffle fillings, they bring extra indulgence as they melt faster than the surrounding chocolate, and have a boosted flavor release.
- Soft & Creamy Fillings: creamy as a spread, they have a rich, creamy mouthfeel which, contrasting with the chocolate texture, allows for the most luscious experiences.
- Aeratable Fillings: with a fluffy texture similar to a foam, as if you would be eating a cloud.
Loads of flavors to choose from
Not only the texture, but also the taste profile of the filling is key to create mouth-watering confectionery creations. Alongside traditional dark and milk chocolate tasting fillings, bring extra indulgence with:
- Chocolate-based fillings: containing cocoa butter, they bring alive the chocolate flavor with a different texture compared to the surrounding chocolate
- Nut fillings: being one of the most loved combinations with chocolate and the biggest flavor in confectionery, nuts are the easiest way to make your next innovation a success
- Trendy flavored fillings: at Barry Callebaut, we can count on dozen of flavors ranging from fruit to caramel and many more
- Customized white fillings: add the flavor & the color of your choice to create your personalized melting heart
Indulge by choosing “Better-for” or more transparent options

- Our “Good for you” range, including Vegan, Sugar Reduced and Organic options
