Is There A Good Recipe For White Choc Fondant Going Aroung?

I need a recipe for white chocolate fondant if anyone has one. I'd like to try making it before I have to buy some. It seems I've heard that you can add white choc to premade fondant. Is that one way to do it? 
I know the premade kind is very good and expensive.
I got this recipe from a friend who got it from one of her students who (I think) is the one who developed it. Unfortunately, there are no directions, just the ingredient list. I made it in December for a wedding cake and everyone loved it.
My only problem was that the gelatin had a tendency to clump up, so I'm assuming I did something wrong putting it together. Also, it's best to work with this while it's a bit chilled so the heat from your hands doesn't make it too soft (because of the chocolate).
I would keep it refrigerated when not using it, but once it's on the cake you don't really need to keep it refrigerated (although I would NOT put it anywhere near a heat source - learned that the hard way).
White Chocolate Fondant
2 lbs. powdered sugar
5 tsp. powdered gelatin
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 1/2 Tbs. glycerin
10 oz. melted white chocolate
1/3 cup corn syrup
Hope this helps.
Heres a link to my recipe. Just add chopped white chocolate, 4-6 ounces, or some white chocolate chips to the cooking process. It tastes fastastic, if I do say so myself. 
Regular chocolate chips make a good milk chocolate fondant.

Since the gelatin can cause lumps, always strain the liquid before mixing it with the powdered sugar.

Can't wait to try them!
JenniferMI has an awesome white chocolate fondant recipe on her DVD which I use all the time. It tastes great and it's a dream to work with!

Is there a problem coloring the fondant with gel colors if you add the white chocolate?? BTW, I use your regular recipe all the time and I love it, it is a a beautiful fondant to work with!!! Thank You!
Hey guys should I even ask if I can subsitute white candy melts for the white chocolate? I don't want to have to go to the store. Probably not huh.
The candy melts will work just fine. Most white chocolate is just a fancy version of the candy melts. True white chocolate will have cocoa butter in it. Any changes to the recipe might cause changes in the amount of powdered sugar you use and/or the amount of glycerin you need.
MissRobin, the gel color will work fine, but might make the fondant a bit soft. You might have to knead in some additional powdered sugar.
I'm very glad the recipe is so well received. My cook book has variations on the fondant as well as cake, frosting, cookie, dinner, and other recipes. Just click on the lick the spoon link in my signature line to find it.
Thanks everyone!
