Chocolate Drops

Dissolve four ounces of the best French chocolate in a little boiling water, and add to it half a pound of sifted sugar; stir the mixture on the fire till it is smooth and quite hot. Place it in drops about the size of a sixpence on sheets of writing paper, and leave them until cold. If it is wished, the drops may be shaken (while still soft) in a paper with some pin-head comfits. They should be kept in layers between sheets of paper. Time, about half an hour. Probable cost, 7d. for this quantity.
