THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 327 



that it can be sold for a penny apiece, or a nickel's worth, or by the 

 pound. A candy manufacturer informed me that there is no can- 

 dy popular today unless there is some chocolate in or on it, and 

 all good chocolate candy is handmade, only the very cheapest is 

 machine-made, and that has only a very thin coating of chocolate, 

 and that don't sell. 



The candy manufacturer is not anxious to use honey at ten 

 cents to take the place of sugar at five cents a pound or less, un- 

 less the price and the demand make up the difference, and that is 

 yet to be proved. 



I find candy manufacturers willing to try it ; if all beekeepers 

 would make an efl'ort in this direction, we should soon know more 

 about it. If the candy manufacturer should not find it a get rich 

 quick business, why then it could still be carried on by the bee- 

 keepers, in a body or as individuals, remember it is all handmade. 



1 have experimented a little with honey candy. Comb honey 

 cut into small squares, and drained on a wire screen, then coated 

 with chocolate is delicious, and then some. 



Granulated comb honey could be used in the same way, the wax 

 in either one making a fair sized chew of gum, so here we have 

 candy and gum all in one. 



Granulated extracted honey cut into squares, and coated with 

 chocolate is good. 



There are chocolate drops made, that have the inside filled 

 with a liquid, I am sure extracted honey could be used in the same 

 way. 



A mixture of about two thirds granulated extracted honey, 

 and one third good butter, put up in pound packages, should be a 

 great seller in the winter, it's just like cream. 



There may be many other ways to put up, or make honey can- 

 dy. I believe the proper form to adopt would be the chocolate 

 honey candy, it would sell itself. The reason that good chocolate 

 candy is all handmade is because there is no machine made that 

 will or can handle the liquid chocolate. I have not decided upon 

 the proportions, but a mixture of peanut butter and granulated 

 honey go well together.
