Black Licorice Caramels image

I make these every year for Christmas candy and every March for my uncle on his birthday! I get requests for the recipe EVERY time I make these and always have to hide some when I take to family parties so the people who arrive late can have some too! Very easy!

Categories     Candy

Time 26m

Yield 50-60 pieces, 50 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups Karo syrup, light corn syrup
2 teaspoons anise extract
1 teaspoon black food coloring, paste

Steps:

  • In a large heavy pan melt butter on low-med heat; add sweet cond milk, Karo syrup, sugar and salt.
  • Place a candy thermometer on side of pan, be careful to not touch bottom of pan.
  • Stirring CONSTANTLY, cook on medium heat to 234 degrees.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add Anise extract and black food coloring paste.
  • Pour into a buttered 9x13" pan.
  • Cool and cut into desired pieces.
  • Wrap in wax paper.
  • It will be gone before ya know it!
  • * This caramel is soft and chewy. If you would like it more firm, cook until about 244 degrees. I find that using the brand Karo for the corn syrup works best, because some of the "off" brands contain water in the ingredients*.

I've never been a fan of black licorice, but these caramels were surprisingly delicious. The licorice flavor was subtle and not overpowering.
