GINGERBREAD HOUSE FROSTING

FROSTING FOR GINGERBREAD HOUSES
We have tried different frosting for our graham crackers houses and this is by far my favorite so far.  The frosting didn't harden up very fast but is doable.  It is also taste pretty good.  I 1/2 the batch and it was just perfect for 4 houses.  But we did get out some of pre-packed frosting for cookies that Abagail used at the end.  So next time maybe make 3/4 of it.  This came from Betty Crocker.

UPDATE: Tara uses canned frosting.  She says it hardens up if you don't get the fluffy kind.

Make sure and use the Bosch to mix.

6 cups powdered sugar
1 cup shortening
1/3 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup milk
food coloring - optional

Beat until smooth.  Can add more milk if want it thinner.
