Ingredients

• 1 can Eagle Brand condensed milk
• 2 cubes butter
• 1 1/2 Cup light corn syrup
• 2 Cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon licorice with anise oil flavoring
• 1 teaspoon black paste food coloring

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a heavy pan except oil flavoring and paste food coloring.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly (this burns easily, so watch carefully). Cook and stir until mixture reaches a soft ball stage. (Soft ball is when a small amount turns to a firm, but soft ball, when immersed into a cup of ICE water). Make sure you don’t overcook this.
3. Remove from heat. Add the food color and licorice oil.
4. Pour into a greased 9X13 pan and let set up. Cut and wrap in waxed paper or saran wrap.

This makes a BIG batch–plenty to give away and have some for yourself as well. If you like caramels and black licorice, you’ll LOVE this recipe!
