Home Comfort Cookbook (1934) - Candy & My Cookbook

T'is the season for sweets and giving something of yourself to those special around you.

We have just the thing from our 1934 Home Comfort Cookbook, put out by the Wrought Iron Range Company with the purchase of their range in the 1930's. Some of our Home Comfort Cookbook Candy recipes can be seen at My Cookbook - Okie's Kitchen or What's Cookin' Cookbook.

This first recipe we would like to share with you is for chocolate and caramel lovers. It can be found in the Sweets category. This Chocolate Caramels recipe is from the 1934 Home Comfort Cookbook, page 129, in the Candy and Candy Making section.

Chocolate Caramels
Source: 1934 Home Comfort Cookbook
1 Cup brown sugar
2 cups molasses
1 cup rich milk
4 Tablespoons butter
4 oz. bitter chocolate
1 Teaspoon vanilla

Instructions: Melt butter and chocolate; add sugar, molasses and milk; cook until consistency of a soft caramel when tested in cold water; pour into buttered square pan and, when half cold, cut into squares, or oblongs. Nuts may be added immediately on removing from range, if desired.

Remember the Divinity that your mother or grandmother would make around the holidays? Check out this Divinity Fudge taken from the 1934 Home Comfort Cookbook, page 129. It has my sweet, chocolate tooth carving and my mouth watering for something chocolate and caramel.

We will bring you some more Holiday Candies in the next few issues of our OkieLegacy newsletters.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
