The present invention relates to chewing or bubble gum compositions that include a first region composition and a second, or gum, region adjacent to or surrounding the first region. The first region composition may be a center-fill co-position, such as a liquid-fill composition. The second region includes a particulate polyol having a reduced particle size and which is saturated by a syrup material, such as a polyol syrup, glycerin or the like. The addition of the particulate polyol to the second region provides stability to the chewing gum, composition by reducing the problem of migration of the first region composition into the second region. The multi-region chewing gum composition also may include a coating region which surrounds or covers the second region.
