First, you will combine the powdered sugar, powdered milk and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine.

On the stovetop, combine the butter, corn syrup and sugar and boil for about 3-4 minutes. It’s best to use a candy thermometer, cook until it reaches 230 degrees or the soft ball stage. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
Carefully pour the mixture into the powdered sugar mixture.

This is where the strong arm comes in. Grab your hubby if you need help and stir the mixture until well combined.
