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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, combine the light corn syrup, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a spoon or your hands until a dough starts to form.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Place the pieces on a parchment-lined tray and let them sit at room temperature for about an hour to firm up slightly.
Step 7
Once firm, transfer the mini Tootsie Rolls to an airtight container or wrap them individually in wax paper for storage. Enjoy your homemade candies!
