It’s the little things that make a card party a real success. Candies that are kept on each table through the afternoon or evening are just the thing to sweeten the afternoon’s game. They mustn’t be sticky and they mustn’t be so rich that they will spoil the appetite for later refreshments. And then, of course, they mustn’t be too expensive. If we make them to save money, the they mustn’t take too much time.
Here are some novel short-cut recipes for candies that are sure to make the card party guests sit up with attention, and these confections exact no strain on the budget. Apricot Coconut Balls
1/2 cup sweetened condescend milk Put apricots through a food chopper. Mix with coconut. Moisten with sweetened condensed milk. Drop by spoonfuls into confectioners’ sugar. Shape into balls. Allow to stand until firm. Makes two dozen balls. |
