• 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.

EASY VEGAN TOOTSIE ROLLS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with a piece of wax paper.
• In a high-speed blender, combine the almond butter, dates, and maple syrup together until completely smooth.
• Place in a medium bowl and add the cocoa powder, powdered sugar and tapioca starch. Mix until well-combined and can form into a ball.
• Dust a piece of wax paper with the powdered sugar and tapioca starch. Place the ball on top.
• Divide the ball in half. Repeat until you half 8 small balls.
• Roll in the powdered sugar/tapioca mix and between your hands for each ball until no longer sticky. You can add more sugar/tapioca if needed. You will want to absorb all the starch/sugar mix for all the combined tootsie roll balls.
• Roll each ball with one hand on the baking sheet coated with wax paper until a narrow string is formed. Repeat for each ball.
• Freeze for 20 minutes.
• Cut each string into 4-5 pieces. Cover in candy-grade wax paper.
• Keep chilled either in the freezer or fridge.

HOMEMADE TOOTSIE ROLLS

Steps:

• Line a baking tray (with sides) with plastic wrap and set aside.
• In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate. Stop to stir every 5-10 seconds so chocolate will not burn. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Scrap mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press down with the back side of a spatula to a 1″ thickness. (Paula's Note: It will not completely cover the pan). Cover mixture with another piece of plastic wrap and let it set overnight at room temperature. The mixture will be stiff, but still moldable and flexible the next day.
• Peel off the plastic wrap and cut into strips (about 1/2″-3/4″ wide). Form each strip into a log and roll out the logs between your hands or on your work surface until they are about 1/2″ in diameter. Cut into sections as long as you like and set aside for a few minutes to harden up again after you have heated them with your hands. Wrap in waxed paper or colored foil squares.
• Paula's Gift Packaging Tip: I love giving gifts in vintage containers I find while junkin'. With my Homemade Tootsie Rolls, I wrapped them in silver foil candy squares and filled a Vintage drinking glass. I finished with a coordinating gross grain ribbon tied on the glass.
