    List of Ingredients




    4 c Sugar
    2 c Heavy cream
    1/2 ts Cream of tartar*
    1 t Vanilla...add later
    1 lb Dipping chocolate

    Recipe



    * 2 tb corn syrup for softer candy. Combine sugar, cream & cream
    of
    tartar in a 3-qt. heavy saucepan. Cook ove low heat, stirring
    constantly,
    until sugar dissolves. Cook to 236 deg.. Watch carefully to avoid
    boiling
    over. If sugar crystals form on the side of pan, wipe them off.
    prevent this problem, I place the lid on just as my candies start to
    boil,
    for 1 min.. This washes the crystals down automatacally.>> Pour out
    onto
    marble slab ; let stand until lukewarm, about 5 -
    10
    min. Work like fondant, until creamy & light in color. Add vanilla &
    work
    into mix. Shape in pieces as desired. .
    Dip
    in melted chocolate. Makes 3 1/2 lbs. Note: May chill in freezer
    before
    dipping. Good if you can dip the same day on this.
