Boil one cup sugar and one-half cup water. until syrup will spin a thread when dropped from tip of spoon. Add one-half the prepared strips, and press under syrup, using the back of spoon.

Let stand to dry off, then dip, one piece at a time, in melted "Dot" Chocolate, using the fingers. Remove to paraffine paper, and let stand until cool.
