A process is disclosed for adhering an edible printed image to a chocolate confectionery product. The process includes providing a transfer sheet having a transparent edible film applied thereon, printing a mirrored image on the transparent edible film using edible ink, applying a layer of a colloidal solution consisting essentially of titanium dioxide and a chocolate-compatible fat overlying the mirrored image. The colloidal solution forms an edible opaque layer with the mirrored image intermediate the transparent edible film and the edible opaque layer. The edible opaque layer is then adhered to a chocolate substrate, thereby affixing the image to the chocolate confectionery product.
