Ingredients
The following ingredients have 66 Servings
- 1 box Betty Crocker Home Style Fluffy White Frosting Mix (7.2 oz. box)
- 1/3 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1 lb. confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean)
- Assorted holiday sprinkles
Instruction
- Cover two or more large baking sheets with parchment paper or waxed paper.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the whip attachment, combine the frosting mix (dry mix), the corn syrup, and the boiling water. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. With the mixer still running on medium, slowly add in confectioners’ sugar a little at a time; mix until just combined. Don’t over mix or you’ll deflate the batter. Add the vanilla and mix briefly. The finished mixture should be billowy and light, and a little bit stretchy like classic divinity.
- Piped: Transfer the candy to a piping big fitted with an open star decorator tip. Pipe the mixture in swirls about the size of a large gumball onto the prepared pans. Immediately cover with sprinkles, if using.
- Spooned: Drop candy mixture by the heaping teaspoon onto the prepared pans. Immediately cover with sprinkles, if desired.
- Let candies stand, uncovered, until dry to the touch, about 6-8 hours. When the outside of the candies feel firm, turn over. Dry 6 more hours, or overnight. Store candies in an airtight container.
