I look through my cookbooks all the time when I am in search of something to try. The weird part about it is that I believe that I am pretty thorough in my browsing, but yet every time I read them I find new recipes that I do not remember seeing before. hmmm.... maybe I have magic cookbooks? that HAS to be the case! I found this recipe yesterday in a cookbook I have read numerous times and was thrilled that I had all the ingredients on hand. As for the "tootsie roll" claim, I do taste some tootsie in them but a more appropriate name would be "chocolate fudgy bites." But since this is what they were called originally, I will keep they name. They really are good and super easy though.
Tootsie Rolls
5 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons cocoa
3/4 cup powdered milk
1/2 cup karo syrup
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1. Melt the butter and the cocoa together over low heat.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
3. Spread onto a small pan or plate, mixture will be thick. I spread mine to about a half an inch thickness, it all depends how you want to do it.
4. Put in fridge or freezer until firm.
5. Cut into small pieces and wrap with wax paper if desired.
