I got this delightful a old fashioned recipe from my mother-in-law. She produced many variations from this basic recipe, combining different flavored extracts with specific coloring. —Theresa Stewart Melfort, Saskatchewan

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pound dark chocolate candy coating, coarsely chopped
