Hirshfield named the candy after his five-year-old daughter, whose nickname was "Tootsie" and the Tootsie Roll became a popular American candy.Ingredients
A cross between a caramel candy and fudge, Tootsie Rolls are made of sugar, corn syrup, partially hydrogenated soybean oil (Trans Fat), condensed skim milk, cocoa, whey, soy lecithin, orange extract and artificial flavors.
