Tootsie Rolls

I love to find things for my kids to create in the kitchen.  One of my favorite "kid" recipes is something I did a long time ago back when I was in 4-H.  I figured I would share since summer is fast approaching and its always nice to have new ideas to do with the kids!  It is homemade tootsie rolls.  We mix it together and then divide it up and let the kids play with it like playdoh, then of course they get to eat it!  I know it looks awful and not so appetizing but I promise your kids will love it, and it does taste really good!  And even better, its all ingredients that you have on hand, and only takes a few minutes to make!
