These are so easy to make, and really are similar to tootsi rolls. Yield is depending on how you cut them.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons shortening
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup non-fat powdered milk
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan or in the microwave melt the butter with shortening, cocoa powder and salt until completely melted.
2. Transfer the mixture to a bowl; add in the remaining ingredients; mix well until blended (I start with a spoon then use my hands to finish mixing).
3. Turn onto the counter or a board; knead until smooth (you will need a lot of hand powder for mixing this batter).
4. Shape into desired-shaped logs, wrap in wax paper.
5. These will harden and develop in flavor with sitting time.
