Ingredients
- two cups of granulated sugar
- two cupfuls of granulated sugar
- one tablespoonful of vinegar
- a cup of cream
- an ounce of chocolate
- a cup of water
- butter the size of a walnut
- vinegar
Directions
Mix together two cups of granulated sugar and half a cup of cream, boil until it holds well together in cold water, or can be rolled between the fingers, flavor with oil of peppermint, remove from the fire and stir until the cream is stiff enough to mould into balls. Use powdered sugar on the hands while moulding. Melt an ounce of chocolate and dip the balls, which should be as large as hazel nuts, in this, using a long pin for the purpose, and lay them on paraffine paper. Any flavoring may be used instead of peppermint.
CANDY (to Pull).
Two cupfuls of granulated sugar, half a cup of water, one tablespoonful of vinegar, butter the size of a walnut. Boil the sugar and water without stirring until it is brittle when tried in cold water, add the butter and vinegar just before it is done. Flavor with any extract preferred, pour into buttered soup plates, and when cool enough to handle pull until white.
