NOTES : Paraffin is not a FDA approved food additive.
       
       Some older recipes for dipped candy call for melting paraffin with 
       chocolate.  The label on most paraffin boxes state it is not for 
       human consumption.  Consumers may need to go to a specialty store 
       (candy/cake decorating) to  find dipping/coating chocolate which 
       has added cocoa butter to make it firmer upon cooling.  Some of 
       the major food
       companies now have products suitable for dipping that are found in 
       stores at holidays.  It may also be ordered from
       Maid of Scandinavia, 1-800-328-6722; FAX 1-612-927-6215. They are 
       located at Minneapolis, Minnesota.
