constitution which comprises two opposed candy part layers (3) and,
sandwiched between these, a xylitol crystal part layer (2) comprising
xylitol as the main component, at least one ingredient selected among
monosaccharides, disaccharides, and sugar alcohols obtained by reducing
these, and a viscosity-lowering agent as essential components, the at
least one ingredient and the viscosity-lowering agent being contained in
