INSTRUCTIONS
The above ingredients are approximate quantities only!!! For every cup
of icing sugar you use, mix in approximately 1 teaspoon of softened
butter or margarine. Then slowly mix in enough of the evaporated milk
to make the mixture of a consistency such that you can form a ball
with it. (Mixing with the hands is the easiest way). Next seperate the
mixture into as many parts (3 or 4) as you want different flavored
chocolates. Then slowly knead in the desired flavoring and food color
you want in each different part. Now mold the resultant mixture into
the desired shapes and sizes you want your chocolates to be. Now melt
in a double boiler (or microwave) two parts semi-sweet chocolate to
one part parawax. Remove from heat. Immediately, using a tooth pick,
pick up each shape created above and dip it into the chocolate mixture
to coat them. Then put them on a piece of wax paper until the
chocolate coating is set. As the chocolate mixture cools and thickens,
reheat it and continue. If you run out of chocolate mixture, simply
add more chocolate and parawax in the proportions listed above. Note:
Suggested flavors and colors: - Maple flavor with no coloring - Mint
flavor with green coloring - Lemon flavor with yellow coloring -
Orange flavor with orange coloring - Almond Flavoring with red
coloring (small amount to create pink) Variations: - With the Maple
flavoring, you can bury a piece of pecan or walnut inside the candy
before dipping it into the chocolate - With the almond flavoring, bury
a marachino cherry inside the candy before dipping it in the
chocolate. Add a drop of cherry juice with it to prevent the cherry
being too dry. - Use the same recipe to make Easter eggs, bunnies etc.
Ex. For Easter eggs, make a center part of one color and flavor and
wrap it in another color and flavor before dipping. Note: Parawax
must be used with the chocolate to create a consistency that will
stick to your candy and not your fingers when set. It is not harmful
and is used commercially. From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection
