Put in kettle (Stock No. [2004-2]) 60 pounds sugar (30 quarts), 2 gallons water (8 quarts). Bring to a boil and pour into syrup tank (Stock No. [2013-1]).
Put in kettle on fire 1 quart stock, ⅛ quart molasses, ¼ pound butter, 1 even teaspoonful cream of tartar. Boil until hard in cold water. Set kettle on Mixing Machine. Dump in two pecks whole pop-corn. Stir thoroughly and quickly; dump while hot on pans or fill moulds.
5. Whole Pop-Corn.
This may be made up in round sticks, bars, bricks, blocks, round cakes and balls, any shape. Many flavors and colors may be used. The white pop-corn yields well to using colors to represent various flavors.
Chocolate is its own color. Use pink color with wintergreen flavor, vanilla with the natural white color of the pop-corn, molasses is its own color, orange color with the orange flavor, etc. These five colors, each in eight shapes, give forty varieties of pop-corn packages.
Use 60 pounds sugar (30 quarts), 40 pounds corn syrup (20 quarts), 2 gallons water (8 quarts). Bring to a boil and pour into syrup stock tank (Stock No. [2013-1]). Put in your kettle 1½ quarts of this stock. The color, or chocolate, you may put in the batch on the fire, the flavor (wintergreen, orange, vanilla, etc.) you must add to the batch when you take the kettle off the fire, otherwise the flavor will boil away. Add chocolate just before you take kettle off the fire. Put in a teaspoonful of salt and a piece of butter size of half an egg. Boil to 286 degrees. Take kettle off fire and set on Mixing Machine; add flavor. Dump in one peck of sifted whole pop-corn and stir thoroughly. Fill crispette moulds or dump on pans and proceed as instructed, [page 30].
Remember that a handful of fresh ground flaked or shredded cocoanut adds a variety to the goods; also raisins and peanuts. Add these at the time you set the kettle off the fire onto the stirring stand. These increase the number of styles under this recipe over two hundred and forty.
