1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons butter or margarine, softened
2-1/2 cups confectioners sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup instant dry milk powder
1/3 cup corn syrup
Mix all ingredients together. Knead like you would for bread. Roll into rope shapes and cut into desired lengths. Twist into wax paper squares.
NOTE
I have not made this recipe myself and I have adjusted the proportions to exclude the cocoa. I imagine any flavor could be obtained, as strawberry and chocolate confectioner’s sugar is available. The sugar can probably be adjusted as well, if one wanted to add malt powder or some such other flavor (possibilities are probably only limited to what you can find to make flavored milk out of).
