TO USE FONDANT FOR DIPPING

Place one-half of the fondant in the top part of a double boiler and fill the lower part with boiling water. Add about one tablespoon of boiling water to the fondant and stir continually to reduce to a thick cream. Dip in the pieces of nut, candied fruit or balls of plain-flavored fondant. Let dry on waxed paper or oil cloth covered board.

When the fondant becomes too dry for further dipping, scrape from the pan, using a wooden spoon and form into balls. Dip them in melted chocolate.

One-half pound of shelled peanuts,

One-half pound of prunes,

One-half pound of apricots,

One-half pound of citron.
