Ingredients

  • 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

Method

  • In a small saucepan or in the microwave melt the butter with shortening, cocoa powder and salt until completely melted.
  • 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).
  • Turn onto the counter or a board; knead until smooth (you will need a lot of hand powder for mixing this batter).
  • Shape into desired-shaped logs, wrap in wax paper.
  • These will harden and develop in flavor with sitting time.
