Candy Dolls

Out of a double sheet of white tarlatan cut the figure of a boy or girl doll with a head a little larger than a large peppermint, and the rest of the body proportioned accordingly. Sew all the edges together except the head, which is left open until the bag is filled. Drop first into the bag tiny pink lozenges for toes and fingers, then large molasses peppermint balls for hands and feet. Use stick candy for arms and legs, fill the body with ribbon Christmas candy, use molasses peppermint balls for the neck, and for the head, a large flat round peppermint on which the features have been painted with color paste, and the hair and eyebrows with chocolate frosting.

Sew up the opening, and use for decoration on a Christmas tree.
