WM. M. BELL'S "PILOT"

BON-BON DIPPING.

Place in a double boiler three or four pounds of bon-bon cream and melt until a slight crust forms on the surface when you allow it to set for a moment.

Remove from fire and place one center at a time in the cream and fish out with a bon-bon fork. Place on wax paper and mark as desired. Do not allow your cream to become too hot.

Nice centers for high-class retail trade are pineapple fritters cut in small points, nice large French cherries, marshmallows, all kinds of nuts, fruit paste and cream centers if you desire.

Make your bon-bons very pale in color.

Use flavors such as vanilla, rose, violet, pistachio, heliotrope. Dip brazils in maple cream.
