When I made the carawmella bars the chocolate layer reminded me of tootsie rolls...I made these using the chocolate layer from the carawmella bars..kneaded lucuma powder into it till it made a very stiff "dough"..pinched off pieces and rolled in wax paper. These do not melt at room temp but are soft...very chewy from the freezer but would be fine in the fridge..
I thought these would be a great treat for halloween!!!!

Tootsie-Rawls
1 cup raw cacao powder
1/2 cup mesquite powder
1/2 cup almond butter
3/4 cup honey or agave (I used a mix of both)
2 T. fo-ti
2 heaping T. lucuma powder
1 T. Vanilla
pinch sea salt

process in food processor till well blended...will be very stiff, stir down as needed
place in bowl and knead in more lucuma (several T.) till no longer sticky.
roll in logs, wrap in paper
store in freezer

What is lacuma, pls? I've never heard of this ...

:)

so, I too didn't have nor have yet tried lucuma powder so I substitiuted 1 Tbl. maca and 1 Tbl. Alissa's green powder and it is delish!!!!!!!!!!!! The texture seems correct, I'll have to try it again when I get lucuma!

Thanks, Glimr, you are so sweet!

Wow that is great, it looks just like a SAD Tootsie

I finally got around to making these. I am allergic to almonds and I hate cashew butter. Was thinking of using macadamia butter but daughter hates that. So I used cashew/mac butter. She still wasn't too keen on that but I felt it had a more mild flavor. At any rate, the end product tastes very much like Tootsie rolls. Yum!

ETA. I didn't add any Fo-Ti/
