CHOCOLATE CREAM PEPPERMINTS.

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
parafnne paper. Any flavoring may be used instead
of peppermint.

CANDY (to Pdl).

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 stir-
ring 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.
