the hard-ball stage (255*) Meanwhile, beat egg white and cream
of tartar with heavy duty electric mixer, until stiff but not dry.
Slowly pour hot syrup into egg white, beating constantly. Add
vanilla, beat until candy forms soft peaks and starts to lose its
gloss. Spoon fondant into prepared pan. Cut into three strips
lengthwise, then crosswise in center. Freeze till firm.
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper, set aside. Melt caramels
with water in small heavy saucepan, over low heat, stirring
occasionally. Arrange pecans on waxed paper.
Working quickly, drop 1 piece of the frozen fondant into melted
caramels to coat. Roll in pecans to completely coat. Place on
prepared baking sheet to set. Repeat with remaining fondant
pieces, reheating caramel mixture if it becomes too thick.
Cut logs into 1/2" slices. Store in fridge in airtight container
between layers of waxed paper or freeze up to 3 months.

Miniture Chocolates
3 Pounds Icing Sugar
1 Can Eagle Brand sweetened
Evaporated Milk
Butter or Margarine
Parafin Wax (Parawax)
Semi-sweet Baking Chocolate
Food Coloring
Artifical Food Flavors
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.

sugar and stir to mix in. Reserve the remaining sugar.
Turn heat to medium high. Using a candy thermometer, cook caramel
mixture until exactly 230F while stirring often. Remove from heat,
let cool for a few minutes, and add remaining powdered sugar. Use

cool for 20 minutes. Divide candy into eight equal pieces and form
each into 4 inch logs. Place on wax paper and let cool for one hour.
In a double boiler, add remaining caramels and water. Melt until
smooth. Remove from heat, but keep hot water under the caramel so
it doesn't firm up. Use a pastry brush to coat one of the logs with
hot caramel. Roll in peanuts in a shallow dish. If any spots are
not completely covered in peanuts, apply more caramel and stick
back in peanuts. Repeat with the remaining logs.
Allow to cool completely before eating.
