I originally found this recipe in the Orlando Sentinel in Dorothy Chapmans food column. She found the recipe in the 1991 Better Homes and Gardens Grand Holiday Cooking. This recipe is well worth the effort.

The licorice flavor is very strong, so if you don't like licorice, you probably won't like these caramels.
