How to make chocolate candy
I got this recipe from Cooks.com
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1/2 c. maple syrup (Grade B or Amber preferred)
1/3 c. of raisins
1/4 c. currants (optional)
1/2 c. hazelnuts or almonds, chopped finely
1 tsp dark rum (Myers is good) or vanilla
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1/2 c. maple syrup (Grade B or Amber preferred)
1/3 c. of raisins
1/4 c. currants (optional)
1/2 c. hazelnuts or almonds, chopped finely
1 tsp dark rum (Myers is good) or vanilla
In microwave or double boiler, melt chocolate. Add raisins and/or currants, rum or vanilla, and nuts.
Combine well. Drop onto wax paper in rounded spoonfuls, using two spoons or a small ice cream or cookie scoop.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes, then store in a ziploc bag in a cool place.
Tastes like those square chocolate "Chunky" candies in the foil wrappers.

How to make a Lip Balm
1 Tablespoon Bee's Wax
1 Tablespoon Shea Butter
1-1/2 Tablespoons Avocado Oil
1/4 Teaspoon Glacier Mint Flavoring
This lip balm is delightfully cold on the lips, very refreshing!
Melt Bee's Wax on the stove. Take off the heat, mix in shea butter and avocado oil. Mix well, then mix in the Soap Crafters Glacier Mint flavoring . Pour into 7 Soap Crafters Lip Balm tubes .
For easier pouring, use a rubber band to hold all the tubes together. Then they stand upright easily. Use a Soap Crafters dropper cap to fill them. Keep filling until they are a little overfilled. This gives each lip balm a rounded top and not a sunken in one. After a couple of hours they will be cool, put on caps and clean up to label. They are ready to use!
