Icing For Hot Hands? Help!
Decorating By mommachris Updated 24 Apr 2007 , 9:46pm by JavaJunkieChrissy
I've used the Wilton b/c but hubby said it tastes slimy ( I think he objects to the Crisco) so I tried a different one that uses 1 cup of butter and 1 cup shortening. It taste great but I ran it to a problem.
The icing is melting right in the bag. I mean it is foaming up and everything! 
Does anyone have a recipe I can use that doesn't melt and isn't more than half crisco?
thanks

I use the Wilton recipe, except instead of the Crisco I put in one stick of butter.
Be sure to just use one stick of butter, you get less icing, but people love the way mine tastes. When I used 2 sticks (to equal the amount of Crisco that it calls for), it got melty and frothy on me, too. So I cut it down to one stick and it works great.
Good luck. 
Good tip KHalstead....I'll definately be doing this as I work with IMBC and I have the "hot hands" plague too.
