Instant Pot Tootsie Roll
You will love these tasty Tootsie Rolls. Slice into long logs or do midget size rolls. The choice is up to you! I wanted to do smaller sized ones, and I used parchment paper to wrap each of my rolls.
Are Tootsie Rolls Made Of Real Chocolate
You will use milk chocolate and white chocolate chips together for this recipe. Then the mix of honey truly combines all the flavors to make it a chewy Tootsie Roll! Trust me, I know it sounds crazy but it works really well!
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.
Variations To Tootsie Rolls Instant Pot Recipe
Feel free to add in a flavored extract to change up the flavor. Orange or even raspberry would be an amazing combination next to the sweet chocolate.
You can also chop up nuts really small and mix them in if you want a bit more of a crunch factor to your tootsie rolls.
Can I Double This Recipe
Absolutely! Feel free to double the recipe if you want to make a bunch. These are great to make for everyday snacking or even a fun dessert to serve up at the holidays.
Feel free to make as much as you would like, as long as you follow the max fill line on your Instant Pot.

Could this be done in the foodi, or a regular slow cooker ?
Yes it can definitely be done in your Foodi
What setting would you use in the foodi?
You would use the slow cooker button on your Foodi
Do you use the slow cooker lid or the standard IP lid?
The regular lid
Hi. I was wondering if I could do 2 1/2 cups of white chocolate chips to make vanilla tootsie rolls?
While I have not tried it, my best guess is yes! I would love to hear about your results
I was thinking the same thing because they sell Frozen “chips” that are blue and white swirl! Could look like vanilla.
I don’t have heavy cream right now but I do have half and half. Would that work?
I am honestly not sure.
Mint Chocolate Chips would be Good – with the Andee’s Pieces !
Can you just use chocolate chips instead of the white? I really dislike white “chocolate”.
I think you should be fine. I would love to hear your results
Can I use sugar free chocolates and get the same result? Thanks.
Yes as long as they melt down it should be fine.
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!
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.
