Poured fondant for petit fours

I would love to find a great recipe for poured fondant for petit fours.  I've done some searching and can't seem to find the right consistency.  Most seem to be way too thin.  Anyone have a good one they would be willing to share?

I use the typical one on the internet...1/2c water, 1/2 corn syrup, 1 21b. bag of PS, 2tsp almond.    Heat determines your consistancy.    The more you warm it up...the thinner it gets.  I have done about a million PT4s (actually love doing them) and know by stirring what consistancy I like.    I keep my left over PT4 icing in the frig...and zap it in the microwave until I get the consistancy I like.  HTH

Is that 1/2 cup of corn syrup? and one 2-pound bag of powdered sugar?

Thanks for the recipe.

I hope I die before "your" is the official spelling of the contraction of "you are."

I'm sorry....I'm not getting notified of new postings.    I have not made a chocolate PT4 icing.  I'm sure it would be good.

Try mixing cocoa powder with boiling water 1/2 cup cocoa and 1 cup water.  Let that cool and strain it.

 

Then use that as the liquid in the recipe already posted here.  I would recommend avoiding other forms of real chocolate because the fat seems to make this stuff a lot harder to pour.

 

I mix this kind of icing to a stiff consistency, and then heat it in a double boiler.  THEN adjust with drops of water so that it will coat the spoon.  The way it coats the spoon is the way it coats the cakes.  Put them on a baking rack over a pan to re-heat and re-use the drips.
