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, dry roast the whole milk powder over low flame. Stir continuously to prevent burning, as it can change color suddenly. Continue roasting until the milk powder turns a golden brown color.
⏱️ 10 min
- 2
Remove the pan from the heat and allow the roasted milk powder to cool completely to room temperature.
⏱️ 15 min
- 3
Once the milk powder has cooled, transfer it to a mixing bowl. Add the crushed plain biscuits, condensed milk (start with 1/3 cup and add more if needed), and cream to the bowl.
⏱️ 3 min
- 4
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until a medium-soft, cohesive dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more condensed milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
⏱️ 5 min

Divide the dough into three equal pieces. Roll each piece into a log shape, approximately 1 inch in diameter and 4-5 inches long.
⏱️ 5 min
- 6
Place the dough logs on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate the logs for 15 minutes to firm them up.
⏱️ 15 min
- 7
While the logs are chilling, melt the dark chocolate. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, or over a double boiler until smooth.
⏱️ 2 min
- 8
Remove the chilled logs from the refrigerator. Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, brush the melted chocolate onto the logs. Create ridges and texture as you go to mimic the appearance of firewood bark.
⏱️ 5 min
- 9
Return the chocolate-coated logs to the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate is completely set, about 30 minutes.
⏱️ 30 min

Once the chocolate is firm, remove the logs from the refrigerator. Using a sharp knife, cut the logs into small, bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch thick.
