Tootsie Rolls!!!

If you love them as much as I do, then here is a recipe a coworker sent to me. I can't wait to make these!!

Tootsie Rolls

3 T butter or margerine
2 squares unsweetened baking chocolate
---OR---
4 T butter or margerine
8 T cocoa

Melt the first two ingredients, then add to the following:

1/2 c light Karo syrup
1 t vanilla
3/4 c powdered milk, sifted until not grainy
3 c powdered sugar

Knead together, working in small amounts, until well mixed. Roll into rolls (snakes) then cut as needed.

*For a sour burst of flavor substitute 1 package Kook-Aid for the chocolate.

I like to store the kneaded candy in an airtight container, and roll out as needed. Wrap in wax paper squares if desired.
