Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup Instant dry milk powder
- 0.25 cup Light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and instant dry milk powder to ensure there are no lumps. Stir in the salt.
In a separate small bowl, combine the light corn syrup, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a spoon or your hands until a dough starts to form.
Knead the dough on a clean surface or in the bowl for about 2-3 minutes, until it becomes smooth and pliable. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little more powdered sugar. If it's too dry, add a few drops of water.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin rope about 1/2 inch in diameter, then cut into 1-inch pieces to create the mini Tootsie Rolls.
Place the pieces on a parchment-lined tray and let them sit at room temperature for about an hour to firm up slightly.
Once firm, transfer the mini Tootsie Rolls to an airtight container or wrap them individually in wax paper for storage. Enjoy your homemade candies!
