Almost Tootsie Rolls

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons shortening
• 1 pinch salt
• 12 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 12 cup light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup non-fat powdered milk
• 3 12 cups powdered sugar

1. In a small saucepan or in the microwave melt the butter with shortening, cocoa powder and salt until completely melted.
2. Transfer the mixture to a bowl; add in the remaining ingredients; mix well until blended (I start with a spoon then use my hands to finish mixing).
3. Turn onto the counter or a board; knead until smooth (you will need a lot of hand powder for mixing this batter).
4. Shape into desired-shaped logs, wrap in wax paper.
5. These will harden and develop in flavor with sitting time.
