Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make candy from baby formula? Prepare all the necessary products. For accurate calculations, I recommend using a kitchen scale. So, sift the baby formula into a bowl. This is necessary in order to ensure that there are no unnecessary impurities in the mixture.

Step 2

Step 2
In the same way, through a fine-mesh strainer, sift 50 grams of cocoa powder into a bowl. At first it may seem like there is a lot of cocoa, but it is not. It will be just right. The rest will remain for sprinkling the candies. If you want to completely coat the candy in cocoa rather than just dust it on like I do, then you will need more cocoa. I think in this case, you will need about 20 grams of cocoa extra.

Step 3

Step 3
Add powdered sugar and vanilla. I added vanilla sugar, thinking that since there wasn’t very much of it, it would have time to dissolve. But, unfortunately, this did not happen, and the sugar squeaked a little on my teeth. For me this is not critical, but for many it will be unacceptable. Therefore, I advise you to use only vanillin. Add it at the tip of the knife, otherwise it may add bitterness to the finished dish.

Step 4

Step 4
Next add soft butter. It is soft, not liquid. To achieve the desired consistency of butter, simply remove the piece from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you start making the candy and leave it at room temperature.

Step 5

Step 5
Stir the mixture thoroughly with a tablespoon until smooth. The consistency of the candy mixture should resemble a soft Potato cake. If the mixture is too runny, add a little more baby formula. And if, on the contrary, it is too thick, then add about a teaspoon of milk.

Step 6

Step 6
Now all that remains is to form the candies. I chose a spherical shape and a medium size candy. I took approximately the same amount of mixture (half a tablespoon each) and rolled the balls with my hands. In the end, I got exactly 15 neat candies. Place them in the refrigerator for an hour, after which they can be served, sprinkled with cocoa powder through a strainer. Bon appetit!
