    1 package Betty Crocker Fluffy White Frosting Mix
    1/3 cup light corn syrup
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1/2 cup boiling water
    1 package (16 ounces) confectioner's sugar
    1 cup chopped nuts

    Preparation Tips:
    In small mixer bowl, combine frosting mix (dry), corn syrup, vanilla and boiling water. Beat on highest speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.

    Transfer to large mixer bowl; on low speed, gradually blend in sugar. Stir in nuts. Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls onto
    waxed paper. When outside of candy feels firm, turn
    over; dry at least 12 hours. Store candy in airtight container.
    Makes 5 to 6 dozen candies.

    Peppy Mints:
    Substitute 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
    for the vanilla and 1 cup crushed peppermint
    candy for the nuts.
    If you wish, tint with few drops green food color.

    Spanish Crunch:
    Substitute dark corn syrup for the light and salted shelled Spanish peanuts for the nuts.

    Candied Cherry Delights:
    Substitute 1 teaspoon almond extract for the vanilla and 1 cup chopped candied cherries for the nuts.
    If you wish, tint with few drops red food color.
