Directions

  1. 1Add all ingredients except the milk powder to a bowl.
  2. 2Sift the cocoa powder and powdered sugar to remove any lumps.
  3. 3Stir everything together with a wooden spoon until it looks like a thick brownie batter.
  4. 4Gradually add the milk powder, about 1/2 cup at a time, and stir.
  5. 5Once the mixture becomes too sticky to mix with a spoon, use your hands to bring everything together into a turd-like consistency.
  6. 6Break the mixture into smaller pieces and roll them into little tootsie rolls.
  7. 7Lay out the rolled pieces on parchment paper.
  8. 8Cut the parchment paper around each tootsie roll.
  9. 9Roll up each tootsie roll in its piece of parchment paper to wrap it.

Tips

  • You might need up to a cup and a half of milk powder; the video used a cup and a third.
  • The longer the tootsie rolls sit and dry out, the more tootsie roll-like their consistency becomes.
