Ingredients
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 0.33 cup Dry milk powder
- 0.5 cup Light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and dry milk powder. Mix well until evenly combined.
Step 2
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the light corn syrup, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until the butter is just melted. Stir to combine.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture. Using a spatula or your hands, mix until a dough forms. The dough will be stiff and slightly sticky.
Step 4
Lightly dust a clean countertop with powdered sugar. Transfer the dough onto the surface and knead it for 1-2 minutes until smooth and pliable. Add a light dusting of powdered sugar if the dough feels too sticky.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a long rope that's about 1/2 inch in diameter.
Step 6
Using a sharp knife, cut the ropes into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch long each.
Step 7
Wrap each piece in a small square of wax paper, twisting the ends to seal like a classic tootsie roll wrapper.
Step 8
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
