How to Make Tootsie Rolls
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup light corn syrup, and 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Pour the mixture onto a lightly oiled surface or baking sheet. Let cool slightly until it's cool enough to handle but still pliable (about 10-15 minutes).
- Knead the mixture for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and less sticky. If it's too sticky, lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar.
- Roll the dough into a long rope, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Wrap the Tootsie Rolls individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Let them cool and set completely at room temperature before enjoying.
