EASY TOOTSIE ROLLS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together. Knead like you would for bread. Roll into rope shapes and cut into desired lengths.

HOMEMADE TOOTSIE ROLLS

Steps:

• Sift together the cocoa powder, confectioner's sugar, dry milk and salt.
• Whisk together corn syrup, melted butter and vanilla.
• Stir the wet into the dry.
• At first it will look like there isn't enough liquid. Keep going.
• Then, using your hands knead the mixture together for a few minutes.
• Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into managable pieces and roll it into a long, thin rope; cut the rope into 1-inch "tootsie rolls."
• Transfer the cut tootsie rolls to a baking sheet or cooling rack.
• Repeat until done.
• Place them in the fridge for 1 hour and until firm.
• Wrap the "tootsie rolls" in parchment or wax paper that are about 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch rectangles.
• Yeild depends on how thin your ropes are. Time does not include chill time.

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE TOOTSIE ROLLS

Steps:

• Line a 13 by 17-inch cookie sheet with sides with plastic wrap.
• Melt the chocolate. Add the remaining ingredients, stir well, and scrape into the prepared pan. The mixture should be about 1 inch thick in the pan; it will not fill the pan entirely. Cover and let set overnight at room temperature; the mixture will be stiff but still flexible.
• Turn the candy out onto a work surface and peel off the plastic wrap. Cut into 3/4-inch wide strips, then use your hands to "scrunch" each strip into a log. Roll the logs thin between your hands (or on the work surface) until they are about 1/2-inch in diameter. Cut into 1-inch long sections. Set aside to firm up a bit before wrapping or serving (the mixture warms up and softens as you handle it).
• Roll each candy up in a square of colored foil or cellophane, twisting the ends to secure. You can also form the modeling chocolate into leaves, roses, ropes for initials or animals.

Steps:

• 1. Note that that is dry milk powder, not instant milk. Throw all of the ingredients into one large mixing bowl and knead it until it looks like one large lump of tootsie. It will have the consistency of Play-Doh. It may not seem like there's enough moisture in there when you start, but keep with it and it should turn out just fine. To make your own rolls, just tear off a chunk of the tootsie dough, roll it up, and cut pieces off. Eat it up right there or wrap it in plastic wrap or wax paper to save it for later.
