This black licorice treat, however, is amazing.
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups white corn syrup
1 teaspoon licorice or anise oil
1/2 teaspoon black paste food color
sweetened condensed milk, sugar, butter, salt, and corn syrup.
With the other hand twist the caramel.

That's mouth watering! I'll definitely try to make this on the weekend! Can't wait! And if it works, my Halloween treats might be homemade this year! 🙂

Yum! I'm a black licorice fan, but my family hates it. That suits me just fine because it's the one treat that I know I'll get every last piece of if we ever have it.
I make caramels every year, so I'll try these.

I love black licorice and so does my mom. I think I will surprise her and make her a batch!

I love, love, love this little treat!!! I have only found one gas station in the middle of no where Wyoming that always has it in stock, now I can make my own.

You have so many cute sights but some of your printed words are so light that I can't read them. Especially the labels.

Do you prefer anise oil? I noticed you used it in the photo. Does it really make that big of a difference? I'm getting ready to make this for my Dad who has cancer and can eat very little because of the sores in his mouth caused by chemo. He LOVES black licorice and will be thrilled to get this! Thanks for the idea.

So, I pinned this and made them! I love them and so does my daughter(who isnt a fan of licorice). Yummy, yummy! I brought them all to work because there are tons and I will eat them all!
Thanks for the detailed instructions.
PS – My dentist says thanks too!
Tanya Frost says
So, I'm back after making another successful batch. This time I used Butter Rum oil and they are amazing! These are going to be my go to Christmas gift. I'm on to Spearmint and Amaretto next!
Sweet Marie says
Oh my, these sound amazing! I must try these, I made a gluten free lifestyle decision and have missed black licorice so much. Anise tea just doesn't cut it. Thanks so much!

Do you know if this would work with Anise extract or does it need to be the oil? Thanks….
