You use it for just about everything else, why not use the Instant Pot to make candy? These chewy, chocolatey DIY “Tootsie Rolls” make such a fun treat to share, especially during the holidays. Plus, this Instant Pot candy recipe provides for a fairly simple kitchen project kids can help with. While your chocolate mixture cools, you can have little helpers cut squares of wax paper, and then let them roll/wrap the individual candies. If you want to test the candy mixture for doneness along the way, take a small amount with a spoon and drop it onto a glass plate. Once it is cool enough to touch, take the mixture and put it between your thumb and index finger; if the mixture is tacky but firm, then it is ready to pour.

These tootsie rolls turned out great! They are chewy and soft. I used dark chocolate chips. I don't think they are too sweet due to honey being used instead of sugar.
Only gave it a four due to having to stand and stir for 20+ minutes. So be prepared! Easy recipe in regards to the ingredients. Of course, I due need more practice in wrapping them. Thanks for the recipe!

Adult son (w background in science/tech) & I were excited to make this. We cook a LOT, but something was SERIOUSLY wrong/ missing from this recipe. While texture was “close enough” to expected, taste was Soooooooo bitter & off-putting, that even adding extra honey/white chips couldn't save. Completely unpalatable to the point we had to throw away. 4 people spit out after one bite each. Fir real. We followed the recipe, but wasted time & money. We wanted to love, but what a disappointment! We used Ghiradelli mikk chocolate chips and generic brand white chips (which tasted delicious ou of bag) so what could have gone wrong that end product tasted Sooo bitter?
