crape at once into
a bowl and cover with a damp cloth, but do not let the cloth touch the
fondant. Use this fondant in the following recipes.
ROSE CHOCOLATE CREAMS
Fondant,
Damask rose color-paste,
1/2 to 1 whole teaspoonful of rose extract,
1/2 a pound of Baker's "Dot" Chocolate.
Put a part or the whole of the fondant into a double boiler over boiling
water. With the point of a toothpick take up a little of the color-paste
and add to the fondant; add the extract and stir until the mixture is
hot, thin and evenly tinted. With two teaspoons drop the mixture into
impressions made in starch; it should be hot and thin enough to run
level on top. When the shapes are cold, remove from the starch, brush
carefully and coat with "Dot" Chocolate.

fondant, to fill the impressions and have them level on the top. Let the
chocolate, broken in bits, be melted over warm water, then add as many
chopped peanuts as can be well stirred into it; let cool to about 80 deg. F.
and in it drop the creams, one at a time; as coated dispose them on
table oil cloth or waxed paper.
