1 small box commercial white frosting mix
1/2 c. water
1/3 c. corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
1 lb. box confectioner's sugar
1 c. pecan pieces

Boil water. Mix dry frosting mix, corn syrup and vanilla to water. Beat mixture on highest mixer speed for 5 minutes. Gradually stir in sugar while mixing on low speed. Blend in pecans. Spoon the mixture by teaspoon onto a cookie tin lined with wax paper. Allow to sit uncovered. Once mixture feels firm to touch, turn over. Cover the tin and allow to sit over night.
