RECIPES FOR FINE CANDY
How Fondant and Chocolate Creams
Are Put UP by Those Who Are
Considered Experts.

Two cupfuls granulated sugar, one
half cupful cold water, boiled slowly
Add quarter teaspoonful Of cream tar
tar, before 1t has boiled five minutes
When 1t keeps its shape in cold wa.
ter, wet dish In cold water "a platter
Is best), pour it out carefully and stl
with wooden spoon till stiff and
about to crumble. Then take in your
hands and work and knead 1t till pill
able and smooth. Pack in deep
dish and cover with wet cloth. Let
stand several hours (till next day is
better), when 1t will be velvety and OF
fine texture. Don't try to make it on
a cloudy or stormy day, as clear,
bright atmosphere will give best re-
suits. From this fondant all kinds of
fine candies can be made.
Chocolate Creams-Form the balls
from the above fondant, and let stand
over night, to harden. Cook together
one cupful granulated sugar, one-half
cupful water and tiny pinch Of cream
of tartar till, when little Is dropped
In cold water, 1t can be gathered on a
spoon, then set on back of stove and
add two squares Of chocolate that have
been melted, heaplng teaspoonful
each of butter and vanilla, and set
dish in another of hot water, and dip
the creams. 1t takes but q few min.
utes for them to harden. Drop on
waxed paper. They are extra nice.
