1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to the field of comestibles, and more specifically relates to a novel snack system, including interior filing of ingredient, outer coating of ingredient, addition of ingredient, and formation of snack roll.
2. Description of the Related Art
Currently on the market, snacks are very limited in their form and variety. There are limited creations of snacks with interior filing of ingredients, outer coating of ingredients, addition of ingredients, and formation of a snack roll.
Various attempts have been made to solve the above-mentioned problems such as those found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,925,683, 5,783,239, 6,911,226, 2010/0166933, 2011/0014320, 2012/0244258, 2012/0251678, 3864071, 4367243, 4411920, 6010731, 2003/0096039, 2003/0138539, 2009/0245698. This prior art is representative of comestibles relating to food. None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the invention as claimed.
Ideally, the snack system, including interior filing of ingredient, outer coating of ingredient, addition of ingredient, and formation of snack roll, should provide consumers a wide selection of snack in various form, variety, and with various ingredient, yet manufactured at a modest expense.

The category of snack is selected from the group consisting of cheese, powdery candy, soft candy, creamy candy, gummy candy, hard candy, liquid candy, fudge candy, chocolate, ice cream, ice milk, sherbet, gelato, yogurt, sorbet, tofu, jelly, pudding, chewing gum, roll, pie, biscuit, cookie, donut, pastry, cake, pancake, crepe, waffle, bread, tortilla, and taco. The snack is selected from the group consisting of caffeinated, and non caffeinated. The snack is selected from the group consisting of diet, and non diet. The snack can be uncooked. The snack can be cooked by method selected from the group consisting of deep frying, sun drying, roasting, baking, boiling, steaming, grilling, and frying. The snack is served in manner selected from the group consisting of room temperature, cold from refrigerator, warm, hot, and reheated. The snack comprising sugar can quickly replenish energy levels for the consumer. At least one texture is selected from the group consisting of powdery, soft, creamy, chewy, crunchy, crispy, jelly, gel, wax, liquid, oil, hard, semi solid, solid, and brittle.
