Recipe - Peppermint Cream Patties

2 cup Sugar
One fourth cup Light corn syrup
One fourth cup Milk
One fourth teaspoon Cream of tartar
Oil of peppermint

Combine all ingredients in a large, heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat,
stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a
boil. Cover and cook for 3 minutes so that any sugar crystals on sides of
pan will be washed down by condensation. Uncover and cook to the softball
~ 238F without stirring. Remove from heat and let stand for 3 minutes to
cool slightly. Flavor with about 10 drops of oil of peppermint, then beat
until creamy without scraping the side of pan. Drop candy by the teaspoon
onto foil to make patties. Allow to dry, then dip in Chocolate Coating.
Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator.
