from the fire ; dissolve the chocolate in a

Chocolate Cream Drops. 

 One cake of vanilla chocolate ; three cups 

 of powdered sugar ; one cup of soft water ; 

 two tablespoonfuls corn-starch or arrow- 

 root ; one tablespoonful butter; two tea- 

 spoonfuls vanilla. Wash from the butter 

 every grain of salt ; stir the sugar and water 

 together ; mix in the corn-starch and bring to 

 a boil, stirring constantly to induce granula- 

 tion. Boil about ten minutes, when add the 

 butter. Take from the fire and beat as you 

 would eggs until it begins to look like gran- 

 ulated cream. Put in the vanilla; butter 

 your hands well, make the cream into balls 

 about the size of a large marble, and lay 

 upon a greased dish.
