Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Nonfat dry milk powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar and nonfat dry milk powder. Mix with a wooden spoon until the dough becomes too stiff to stir easily.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with powdered sugar. Transfer the stiff dough onto the work surface, and knead it by hand until it is smooth and pliable. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more powdered sugar over it and continue kneading.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each piece into a long, thin rope about 1/2 inch in diameter.
Use a sharp knife to cut the ropes into small pieces, each about 1 inch long. These are your Tootsie Rolls!
Optional: Wrap each piece in a small piece of wax paper, twisting the ends to seal, for an authentic presentation.
Store the Tootsie Rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to a month. Enjoy!
