Ingredients

The following ingredients have 64 Servings
  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 cups Karo light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon black paste food coloring
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons anise oil

Instruction

  • Butter a 9x13” glass dish with buttered foil.
  • In a large heavy bottomed pan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in sugar, milk, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Continue cooking over medium-low heat, until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a *firm soft pliable ball, about 238°.
  • Remove from heat. Add food coloring and anise oil, and mix until the oil is completely incorporated. Pour into a buttered 9x13” glass pan. Let caramels cool over night.
  • Remove caramel from the pan, cut into 1 inch pieces. Wrap in 5x4 inch pieces of wax paper and twist the ends to enclose the caramel.
