Chocolate Dates
Wash and pit the dates, let them dry, then fill the seed cavities with
maple fondant, cream fondant, or nuts dip in chocolate.
Chocolate Mints
Prepare after-dinner mints, and when they are entirely cold, coat with
chocolate.
Chocolate Creams
Make Fondant for Chocolate Cream Centers, heat it in the double
boiler, and mold in cornstarch. Centers made of this fondant will be
much softer than those made of cream fondant. Dip in chocolate.
Chocolate Crescents
In order to have the crescents uniform in size and perfect in shape, it is
necessary to mold the centers in cornstarch, hence one is obliged to
make crescent-shaped plaster of Paris molds. Use any of the fondants
desired, heat in the double boiler, and mold in cornstarch. When the
centers are thoroughly cooled dip them in chocolate.
Chocolate Pecans
Dip the halves of pecan nut meats in chocolate and set on waxed
paper. Chocolate almonds, chocolate walnuts, etc., are coated in the
same way.
