Luscious black licorice squares are subtly scented with anise and have the smooth, creamy texture and mellow flavor of caramel candy. If you wish you can double the amount of anise extract for a stronger black licorice flavor. Read more Black food coloring paste can be found in some craft and cake decorating stores. Wilton’s brand is available at Michael’s. See less
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter shopping list
- 2 cups granulated sugar shopping list
- 1 cup corn syrup shopping list
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk shopping list
- pinch salt shopping list
- 1 tsp anise extract shopping list
- 1/2 tsp black food coloring paste shopping list
How to make it
- Prepare a 9-inch square pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the condensed milk, sugar, corn syrup, and salt, and stir until combined.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often. Attach a candy thermometer and boil the candy until it reaches 245 degrees, firm-ball stage. Stir frequently so that the mixture does not scorch on the bottom of the pan.
- Once it reaches the proper temperature, remove from the heat and stir in the anise extract and the food coloring, mixing until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the candy into the prepared pan. Allow to set at room temperature overnight, or in refrigerator to speed up the process.
- Cut into squares using an oiled bench cutter or kitchen shears. Wrap individual candies in waxed paper or cling-wrap to store.
