An edible composition comprises an integrally extruded net formed of an edible material e.g. a cereal-based, sugar-based or fat-based material. The composition has a novel appearance and unexpectedly good eating qualities. The net may be tubular planar or curved and may be filled and/or coated with a compatible edible material. In the case of a tubular filled net, the net is preferably produced by extending the edible net-forming material through a pair of relatively rotating or oscillating dies having mutually engaging grooved surfaces. When the grooves in one die mate with the grooves in the other die, integral joints between individual strands in the net are formed. When the grooves in one die are separated from the grooves in the other die, the individual strands are formed. A center-filling, which may support the extruded net, is extruded through the center of the net-forming die arrangement to provide a center filling to the tube.

A composite food product consisting essentially of: (1) a tube whose wall is composed of a net having mesh strands and intersections which are integrally formed of a first edible material by an extrusion process; and (2) a filling of a second edible material within the tube and in contact with an inner surface of the tube wall, wherein the edible material forming the net is a material based on one or more of the group consisting of cereal and potato.
