59.14 ml powdered milk
59.14 ml simple syrup (honey or corn syrup OK)
29.58 ml unsalted butter, melted

0.25 ml salt

directions

Sift together the cocoa powder, confectioner’s sugar, dry milk and salt.
Whisk together corn syrup, melted butter and vanilla.
Stir the wet into the dry.
At first it will look like there isn’t enough liquid. Keep going.
Then, using your hands knead the mixture together for a few minutes.
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.
Wrap the "tootsie rolls" in parchment or wax paper that are about 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch rectangles.
Yeild depends on how thin your ropes are. Time does not include chill time.
