Can I Make These Ahead Of Time 

Absolutely! You need to allow the Tootsie Rolls to set up in the fridge, so making them in advance is a great idea. You need to factor in all the time you need for making, setting up, and then rolling each candy. 

You can then keep each candy wrapped in parchment or even wax paper. This will help them to stay fresh and not stick together. 

Is This A Chewy Recipe 

Yes, you will find these candy Tootsies do offer a bit of a chew just like the classic recipe. Similar to a caramel, but a bit chewier in this texture. 

Best Way To Store 

This is up to you. Feel free to store on the counter wrapped individually or place them in the fridge. You will find storing the candies in the fridge will have a harder texture than storing them on the counter.

  1. Hi. I was wondering if I could do 2 1/2 cups of white chocolate chips to make vanilla tootsie rolls?

    1. I was thinking the same thing because they sell Frozen “chips” that are blue and white swirl! Could look like vanilla.

  2. I made these the other day and had one problem; they wouldn’t set up just cooling on the counter for a few hours. I put them in the refrigerator a couple hours and then they were not too sticky to handle. I followed the recipe instructions but I make a couple substitutions. I used Hershey kisses for the milk chocolate and Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips for the white chocolate. Since I had no regular cream I used Silk dairy free heavy whipping cream alternative. Do you think I did something wrong or the substitutions caused the problem? THANK YOU!

    1. I am not so sure. I feel like possibly the silk dairy free heavy whipping cream may have caused it. I am so sorry but my best suggestion would be to try again using regular heavy cream. I think the replacements on the chocolate were probably fine.
