Firewood Candy
Firewood Candy
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk powder, not tea whitener
- 1 cup plain biscuits, crushed
- 2 tablespoons cream
- 1/3 cup condensed milk, up to 1/2 cup, as needed
- 4 ounces dark chocolate, for brushing
Instructions
- 1
In a dry pan, add the whole milk powder. Dry roast the milk powder over low heat, stirring continuously, until it turns a golden brown color. Be very careful, as the powder can change color suddenly and burn quickly.
⏱️ 10 min
- 2
Transfer the roasted milk powder to a bowl and allow it to cool down completely to room temperature. This will prevent the other ingredients from melting prematurely.
⏱️ 15 min
- 3
Once the milk powder is cool, add the crushed plain biscuits, 2 tablespoons of cream, and 1/3 cup of condensed milk to the bowl. Begin mixing the ingredients together.
⏱️ 3 min
- 4
Continue mixing and kneading the ingredients until a medium-soft dough forms. If the dough is too dry, gradually add more condensed milk, up to 1/2 cup total, until the desired consistency is reached. The dough should be pliable and hold its shape.
⏱️ 5 min
- 5
Divide the prepared dough into three equal portions.
⏱️ 1 min
- 6
Take each portion of dough and roll it into a log shape, approximately 1 inch in diameter and 4-5 inches long.
⏱️ 2 min
- 7
Place the three dough logs on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow them to firm up slightly.
⏱️ 15 min
- 8
While the logs are chilling, melt the dark chocolate. This can be done in a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, or over a double boiler until smooth.
⏱️ 5 min
- 9
Remove the chilled logs from the refrigerator. Using a pastry brush or a fork, brush the melted dark chocolate over the surface of each log. As you brush, create ridges and textures to mimic the appearance of firewood bark.
⏱️ 4 min
- 10
Return the chocolate-coated logs to the refrigerator and chill them until the chocolate is completely set and firm, about 15 minutes.
⏱️ 15 min
- 11
Once the chocolate is set, remove the logs from the refrigerator. Using a sharp knife, cut each log into small, bite-sized pieces, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
⏱️ 2 min

Serve the Firewood Candy cold, alongside coffee or tea, for a delightful treat.
