Just before taking it from the fire, add a heaping pint of shelled peanuts or walnuts.

Cut in strips before it is quite cold.
COCOANUT DROPS.
One cocoanut grated; half its weight in powdered sugar; whites of two eggs; one teaspoonful of corn-starch.

Mix corn-starch and sugar; add cocoanut, and then whites of eggs beaten to a stiff froth.

Make in little cones, and bake on buttered paper in a slow oven.
CHOCOLATE CREAMS.
One pound of granulated sugar; half a pound of chocolate; one teaspoonful of acetic acid; one tablespoonful of water; one teaspoonful of vanilla.
Melt the sugar slowly, wetting a little with the water.

Add the acid and vanilla, and boil till sugary, trying _very_ often by stirring a little in a saucer.
