Two batches I will make into Mints, and cover in dark chocolate!!

The third, I will use for the thin candy coating on my Pecan Nut Balls:

Pics from 2012. Pecan Nut Balls are a copy of a hand made specialty candy I saw in a Bissinger's catalog!! Two pecan halves stuck together with almond paste and dipped in a light hazelnut flavored candy coating, then dipped in milk chocolate coating! One of my personal faves!

And I use the 4th to add to the other two fondant uses as needed, and to extend yield! I can add colors and flavors to make fondant into just about every non-chocolate candy centers I choose! It's majic stuff!! Basically 100% sugar, texturized in a most delightful way! :-)
