For those of you who didn't make the tootsie rolls at our Souper Saturday and for those who want to make more, here is the recipe. Enjoy!
3-4 cups powdered sugar
6 Tbs cocoa
¾ cup dry powdered milk
2 Tbs margarine
2 Tbs oil
½ cup Karo syrup
1 Tbs vanilla
Mix together 2 cups of powdered sugar with cocoa and dry powdered milk. Add margarine and work into dry ingredients. Add oil, syrup, and vanilla. Mix together well. Put 1 cup powdered sugar onto table and put mixture on it. With a spoon and hands work mixture into the sugar, adding more sugar as needed so Tootsie roll mixture isn’t sticky. Knead until dry and easy to work with. Roll dough into a long snake-like roll. Cut to desired lengths. Wrap each one in foil or wax paper.
Makes about 3 dozen depending on how big the roll is.
