CANDY MADE IN LAYERS.
Delicious CONNECTION to Set Before

A pure and delicious candy made at
home for use at parties may be termed
"layer candy" 1t is made as follows:
White layer-Take two cups of granu-
lated sugar, one cup of cream or milk,
and piece of butter about the size OF
a hickory nut. Put in pan and boil,
stirring all the time, until it forms
soft ball when tried in cold water
Then add favoring, nuts, and candied
cherries or candied pineapple, or other
fruit of similar character. Turn out
in deep pan, smooth OF the top with
a knife which has previously been
dipped in cold water. Pink layer-use
the same proportions as above, using
light brown sugar in place of the
granulated, AMI just before removing
from the fire add a few drops of fruit
coloring, and a better result will be
obtained by favoring each layer diff
ferently. After this layer has been
beaten until perfectly cold turn out
on top of the white layer and smooth
with knife the same as stated above.
Chocolate layer-ProceSs as above,
using light brown sugar. When about
half done add one-fourtb of a cake
of chocolate. After beating until per-
fectly cold, turn out on top of the pink
as the first two layers were smoothed.
Put in cold damp place SO that the
layers of the candy will not separate,
and when served slice down like layer
