HOMEMADE CHOCOLATES (LAURA SECORD TYPE)

Steps:

• The above ingredients are approximate quantities only, use to your taste and discretion. 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. 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)
