These are so absolutely easy to make. These are softer than the variety in the store, and they taste even better!
INGREDIENTS
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup icing/powdered sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 to 1 ¼ cup instant non-fat dry milk powder
DIRECTIONS
- Mix all ingredients together.
- Knead like you would for bread.
- Let it sit/rest for 10 minutes.
- Cut and wrap.
-
Tip: If you'd like; after cutting into strips you could roll each strip into "rope" shape and then cut. So they appear more like the rounded "barrel" shaped Tootsie Rolls you're so accustomed to.
If you'd like them a bit softer you could use these ingredients instead:
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup dry milk powder
- ½ cup white corn syrup
You will use the same method as before.
