Make the popular American Tootsie Roll chocolates at home.
You will never forget this chewing sticky texture and chocolate, amazing orange tint. The composition of sweets on the surprise is simple: molten chocolate mixed with corn syrup. Confectioners have long been using this combination, which makes plastic candies. They do not melt for a long time and from this chocolate mass you can easily form roses or the name of the child – it all depends on your imagination. Chocolate iris can be glamorously presented, wrapped in gold or silver foil and filed on silver the dish.
