1/3 c. soft butter
1/3 c. light corn syrup
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 lb. sifted 10X sugar

Blend everything but sugar. Add sugar all at once. Mix together. Form ball and remove from bowl. On counter or table, knead until smooth and creamy. Can be refrigerated and shaped at any time. Can divide and add a few drops of food coloring to each portion, kneading well until color is even.

IDEAS:

Shape into balls and:

1. Roll in colored sugars or decors, chopped nuts.

2. Dip into melted chocolate.

3. Toasted or colored coconut.

Form ball around nut meat, piece of candied fruit, portion of candy bar, etc. Use small portions to stuff pitted dates or prunes, or other dried fruits. Use your imagination!
