Ingredients:
16 ounces white marshmallows 3 tablespoons water
2 pounds powdered sugar
1/2 cup Crisco shortening
Directions:
1. Melt the marshmallows and 3 tablespoons of water in a microwave. Place bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, microwave for 30 seconds more, stir, and continue doing this until melted. It takes about 2 1/2 minutes total.
2. Place 1/2 of the powdered sugar on the top of the melted marshmallow.
3. Grease your hands GENEROUSLY, then heavily grease the counter you will be using. Pour the bowl of marshmallow/sugar on the greased countertop.
4. Add the rest of the powdered sugar to the pile. Start mixing/kneading the mixture (be careful, it could be HOT!). It is going to be very sticky at this point.
5. Keep kneading until you get a firm smooth elastic ball so that it will stretch without tearing when you apply it to the cake (if it tears add a small amount of water).
6. Usually I let it sit overnight wrapped in plastic wrap.
