Ingredients

12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup light corn syrup
3/4 teaspoon warm water
1 1/2 teaspoons orange extract

Directions

About 75 squares of colored foil or cellophane, for wrapping, optional

Line a 13 by 17-inch cookie sheet with sides with plastic wrap.

Melt the chocolate. Add the remaining ingredients, stir well, and scrape into the prepared pan. The mixture should be about 1 inch thick in the pan; it will not fill the pan entirely. Cover and let set overnight at room temperature; the mixture will be stiff but still flexible.

Turn the candy out onto a work surface and peel off the plastic wrap. Cut into 3/4-inch wide strips, then use your hands to "scrunch" each strip into a log. Roll the logs thin between your hands (or on the work surface) until they are about 1/2-inch in diameter. Cut into 1-inch long sections. Set aside to firm up a bit before wrapping or serving (the mixture warms up and softens as you handle it).

Roll each candy up in a square of colored foil or cellophane, twisting the ends to secure. You can also form the modeling chocolate into leaves, roses, ropes for initials or animals.

pretty dang good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Know matter what any one says this is pretty close to the the other tootsie roll in the brown wraper. They were good enough... to eat. There was a little to much orange flavor for myself but the second batch and all after that I just did not put so much in, that was simple. Great recipe easy to make.Read more

Tootsie rolls---not
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

This recipe is not even close to Tootsie Rolls. The texture is way too soft and it has too much orange flavor. It is too... soft to really form into anything. It was a waste of 12 oz of good quality semi sweet chocolate. Don't waste your time or ingredients.Read more
