Chocolate Cream Drops (These are lumps of cream candy)

These are lumps of cream candy coated by being dipped in melted chocolate. Make white cream candy by the method described for rose cream candy, but flavor it with vanilla if at all. Pour it hot into plaster of paris molds if you have them, making hazelnut sizes of drops. If no molds form the candy when nearly cold with the fingers, then taking them on a fork dip each piece in a bowl of chocolate, either common or sweet vanilla, melted by being set on the side of the range, and set the drops on buttered pans to cool and dry. Other shapes besides drops can of course be made in the same manner. The boiled icings or glaze elsewhere described when left over from icing cakes can also be formed into cream drops and coated by dipping in melted chocolate, and so likewise can be used the common cake icing and macaroon mixtures that may be left over from their first purpose.
