Easy Tootsie Rolls Recipes

EASY TOOTSIE ROLLS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together. Knead like you would for bread. Roll into rope shapes and cut into desired lengths.

TOOTSIE ROLL FUDGE

Steps:

• Line a 9-in. square pan with foil. Grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, melt the Tootsie Rolls, peanut butter and remaining butter over low heat, stirring constantly. Gradually stir in the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla (mixture will be very thick). Fold in pecans., Spread into prepared pan. Using a sharp knife, score the surface into 1-in. squares. Press a M&M's candy into the center of each square. Cool. Using foil, remove fudge from pan; cut into squares. Store in an airtight container.

HOMEMADE TOOTSIE ROLLS

Steps:

• Line a baking tray (with sides) with plastic wrap and set aside.
• In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate. Stop to stir every 5-10 seconds so chocolate will not burn. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Scrap mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and press down with the back side of a spatula to a 1″ thickness. (Paula's Note: It will not completely cover the pan). Cover mixture with another piece of plastic wrap and let it set overnight at room temperature. The mixture will be stiff, but still moldable and flexible the next day.
• Peel off the plastic wrap and cut into strips (about 1/2″-3/4″ wide). Form each strip into a log and roll out the logs between your hands or on your work surface until they are about 1/2″ in diameter. Cut into sections as long as you like and set aside for a few minutes to harden up again after you have heated them with your hands. Wrap in waxed paper or colored foil squares.
• Paula's Gift Packaging Tip: I love giving gifts in vintage containers I find while junkin'. With my Homemade Tootsie Rolls, I wrapped them in silver foil candy squares and filled a Vintage drinking glass. I finished with a coordinating gross grain ribbon tied on the glass.
