| 1 | 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. |
| 2 | 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. |
| 3 | (mixing with the hands is the easiest way). |
| 4 | Next seperate the mixture into as many parts (3 or 4) as you want different flavored chocolates. |
| 5 | Then slowly knead in the desired flavoring and food color you want in each different part. |
| 6 | Now mold the resultant mixture into the desired shapes and sizes you want your chocolates to be. |
| 7 | Now melt in a double boiler (or microwave) two parts semi-sweet chocolate to one part parawax. |
| 8 | Remove from heat. |
| 9 | Immediately, using a tooth pick, pick up each shape created above and dip it into the chocolate mixture to coat them. |
| 10 | Then put them on a piece of wax paper until the chocolate coating is set. |
| 11 | As the chocolate mixture cools and thickens, reheat it and continue. |
| 12 | If you run out of chocolate mixture, simply add more chocolate and parawax in the proportions listed above. |
| 13 | 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) |
| 14 | 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. |
| 15 | Add a drop of cherry juice with it to prevent the cherry being too dry. |
| 16 | - use the same recipe to make easter eggs, bunnies etc. |
| 17 | Ex. |
| 18 | For easter eggs, make a center part of one color and flavor and wrap it in another color and flavor before dipping. |
| 19 | note: parawax must be used with the chocolate to create a consistency that will stick to your candy and not your fingers when set. |
| 20 | It is not harmful and is used commercially. |
