To obtain a granular hydrophobic product which does not melt in e.g. a confectionery and giving a confectionery or the like a refreshing crisp biting feeling.

This product is obtained by coating sucrose granules <5% (pref. ≤3%) in crushability with a film-coating agent. The sucrose granules thus formed pref. comprises about 85-98 wt.% of sucrose and about 2-15 wt.% of the film-coating agent; the melting time of 1 g of this product is 3 h or longer with 400 mL deionized water at 22°C. Prior to being coated with the film-coating agent, the sucrose granules may be additionally incorporated with a backing agent, various additives and a medicament and the like.
