Molasses Candy

Two cups of sugar, one of molasses, one-half of butter, one-fourth of vinegar, vanilla and peanuts. Boil until it will candy, then stir in vanilla and peanuts, and pour into a pan. Score the same as caramel.

Molasses Candy

Two cups of molasses, one of white sugar, one table-spoonful of vinegar, a small piece of butter. Boil from twenty minutes to half an hour. Try it by dropping a little into cold water: if it hardens, it is ready to cool. Pour into a flat, buttered dish, and, when cool, work it with the hands.

Peanut Dandy

Prepare the same as the above : let boil ten minutes longer; and, just before taking off the fire, add a pint of nuts, which have been shelled and broken.

Pour into the dish; and, before it becomes perfectly cold, cut into pieces.

Chocolate Candy

One cup of molasses, two of sugar, one of milk, one-half of chocolate, a piece of butter half the size of an egg.

Boil the milk and molasses together, scrape the chocolate fine, and mix with just enough of the boiling milk and molasses to moisten : rub it perfectly smooth then, with the sugar, stir into the boiling liquid, add the butter, and boil twenty minutes. Try as molasses candy; and, if it hardens, pour into a buttered dish. Cut the same as nut candy.

Vinegar Candy

One cup of vinegar, two of white sugar. Boil until it will break brittle when dropped in cold water. Pour into a butter-dish, and cut before it gets hard.

This is nice with nuts for a change. Any kind will answer.
