Ingredients

• 1 cup corn syrup
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon anise extract
• black paste food coloring
• 0.125 teaspoon salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

To cut, turn out of pan and peel away foil. Cut with a buttered knife. Wrap pieces in waxed paper or candy wrappers.

Step 2

Line a 9x9-inch dish with buttered foil.

Step 3

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in sugar, milk, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Continue to heat, without stirring, to 242 to 248 degrees F (116 to 120 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a firm but pliable ball. Remove from heat and stir in anise and food coloring. Pour into prepared pan. Let cool completely, several hours.
