1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
2 C. granulated sugar
1 C. butter ( no substitutes)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 C. light corn syrup
1 tsp. anise (licorice) extract
Black paste food coloring
Combine the first 5 ingredients in a heavy saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture reaches 234 degrees on a candy thermometer.
(This will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes.) Mixture will turn from a pale yellow color to a
golden brown.
Stir in anise extract and enough black food coloring to make the caramel a dark black.
Pour mixture into a buttered 9 x 13-inch pan and let cool. Cut into small squares and wrap each piece
in wax paper.
Yields 75 to 100 pieces.
