Description

Ingredients

• 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

Directions

• 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.
