Fans of black licorice won't be able to stop eating these gooey caramels. I appreciate their ease of preparation. Donna Higbee, Riverton, Utah Ingredients:
1 teaspoon plus 1 cup butter, divided |
2 cups sugar |
1-1/2 cups light corn syrup |
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons anise extract |
1/4 teaspoon black food coloring |
Directions:
1. Line an 8-in. square dish with heavy-duty foil; butter foil with 1 teaspoon butter. Set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, milk, remaining butter and salt; bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 244° (firm-ball stage).
2. Remove from the heat; stir in extract and food coloring. Pour into prepared pan (do not scrape saucepan). Cool completely before cutting. Lift foil and candy out of pan; remove foil. Cut into 1-in. squares; wrap each in waxed paper. Yield: about 5 dozen.
