1. A process for the preparation of a filled dough containing a bake stable nut buffer emulsion which comprises the following steps:
a) selecting a sugar syrup solution and diluting it with water until it contains an amount of sugar solids which is in the range 55\u201380 wt %,
b) heating the solution to a temperature in the range 40\u2013100\xb0C.,
c) dispersing a starch into the solution until it contains 1\u20135 wt % of dissolved starch,
d) dispersing an emulsifier into the solution until it contains 0.5\u20133 wt % of dissolved emulsifier,
e) dispersing a gelling agent into the solution until it contains 0.2\u20131 wt. % of dissolved gelling agent,
f) cooling the solution to a temperature which is in the range of 20\u201350\xb0 C.,
g) dispersing under vigorous stirring conditions a nut butter into the solution, while controlling the rate of addition such that the resulting emulsion remains water continuous,
h) allowing the emulsion to coot and to obtain a plastic consistency,
i) surrounding the filling with a suitable dough and baking it.
2. A process according to the claim 1 where the rate of nut butter addition does not exceed 18 wt. % of the total amount of nut butter per minute.
3. A process according to claim 1 which comprises having combined the nut butter filling with a filling consisting of fruit jelly which comprises 10\u2013100 wt. % of fruity matter.
4. A process for the manufacture of a baked snack according to claim 1 wherein the water activity, Aw, of the dough as well as the filling has a value in the range 0.6 to 0.8.
5. A process for the manufactured of a baked snack according to claim 4 wherein the water activity, Aw, of the dough and the filling differ by less than 0.05 units.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A package made from sheet material, the package comprising;
a first panel on an external face of the package, the first panel having an outer surface and an inner surface, and bounded by at least one first outer corner;
a second panel adhesively attached to the first panel inner surface including the inner surface of the first outer corner; and
a perforation or line of weakness formed in the first panel proximate to the first outer corner.
2. The package of claim 1, wherein the perforation or line of weakness extends partially through the first panel.
3. The package of claim 1, wherein the perforation or line of weakness extends into the first panel inner surface.
4. The package of claim 1, wherein the second panel is adhesively attached to the first panel using a heat-seal coating.
5. The package of claim 1, wherein the sheet material is tear-resistant paperboard.

9. The package of claim 1 comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending panels and at least one closed end, the closed end being at least partly formed by the first panel.
10. The package of claim 9, wherein the first outer corner is not directly hingedly connected to any one of the longitudinally extending panels.
11. A package made from sheet material, the package comprising;
a first panel on an external face of the package, the first panel having an outer surface and an inner surface, a first free edge and a second free edge intersecting the first free edge at a corner;
a second panel adhesively attached to the first panel inner surface including the inner surface of the first outer corner; and
a perforation or line of weakness formed in the first panel proximate to the corner and extending from the first free edge to the second free edge.
12. The package of claim 11, wherein the perforation or line of weakness extends partially through the first panel.
13. The package of claim 11, wherein the perforation or line of weakness extends into the first panel inner surface.
