Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup butter (salted)
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 cup sweetened condensed skim milk
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
1. Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and set it over medium/low heat.

2. As ingredients begin to warm, whisk well to combine. Add a candy thermometer to the pan and closely monitor the temperature. You want the candy to reach 250 degrees F (known as the firm ball stage).

3. As candy is cooking, rub a light coating of butter on a baking sheet. If you have a silicon non-stick pad, that also works well. Lay the pad down onto a baking sheet and rub a coating of butter on it.

4. When the candy reaches 250 degrees, pour it onto the buttered surface. Allow it to cool for 7 to 10 minutes. As the candy cools enough to be handled, fold the edges over onto the center. Eventually you will be able to pick up the ball of candy, and, with buttered hands, twist and pull the candy for a good 10 minutes or until it begins to turn lighter in color. Let the candy rest for an hour or so, then pull and twist it again for 5 minutes. This process will work air into the candy so that it develops the consistency of the real thing.

5. When the candy has become an even lighter shade of brown, divide it into three or four chunks and roll those into ropes that are about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Wrap these pieces in wax paper that has been cut into 2x3-inch rectangles, and twist the ends to seal.

Makes 75 bite-size candies.
