Tootsie Rolls --YUM!

TOOTSIE ROLLS – Carol Jean Brown

Hint - In order for the tootsie roll to be smooth --- You must pulverize - in a blender or food processor - the Dried Milk and Powdered Sugar.  Or you will be picking out little white lumps in your candy.  

Melt:                                            

4 Tbs. Butter

6 Tbs. cocoa    

Add:1/2 cup light Karo syrup

1 t. vanilla

Stir in:  3 cups powdered sugar (blended first)

3/4-cup instant milk (blended first)

Melt until butter, sugar and milk are mixed. Add dry ingredients.   Roll into ropes.  Cut into desired lengths.  Wrap in wax paper.  Store in airtight container.

I have never -- ok, maybe once in a while -- needed to store these tootsie rolls.  

Really fun with kids.
