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

Directions

1

In a small saucepan or in the microwave melt the butter with shortening, cocoa powder and salt until completely melted.
2

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).
3

Turn onto the counter or a board; knead until smooth (you will need a lot of hand powder for mixing this batter).
4

Shape into desired-shaped logs, wrap in wax paper.
5

These will harden and develop in flavor with sitting time.
