Thank you

[@anneogborn961]

Made this last night! It's still setting, but was amazingly easy, and watching shiny black stuff bubble was worth the price all on it's own

[@chikken_soup]

I just had an anus extract just a few minutes ago. I feel lighter

[@Orgelix]

Chicken Soup LOL

[@katieleonard4742]

+Orgelix i can't believe he said anus lol

[@dianaissuperbritney5716]

stfu bitch

[@Renettii]

I'm disgusted

[@RavenIsAnArtist]

Anise!! 🤣😂😭

[@justinwhite2725]

There's no actual licorice in this 'licorice'. Anise tastes like licorice, but it's not actually licorice.

[@derbyrochefort3497]

Justin White Isn't this just a regular fudge recipe with liquorice extract??

[@justinwhite2725]

Derby Rochefort nope. No liquorice at all. It's flavoured with anise seed extract, which tastes similar to liquorice but is a different thing altogether.

[@kovarniypidor]

Anise is awesome and taste not even close to a fucking licorice. I want to chop my tongue off every-time and puke over the face of someone, who give it to me or put in in a food, when I hear(feel) taste of it

[@nickp82]

Yeah right exactly.

[@HunterMann]

Actually the flavor is fennel, look it up… Fennel seed… You can grind it and use the fine powder or you can press it and get the oil out of it and use that for flavor.

[@aaaaa1957]

OMG, I never had any idea that “ Licorice “ candy had so much sugar. I was looking for real licorice juice. Thanks for sharing.

[@simpleeasycooking]

This recipe needs to be exact :)

[@artes.6289]

isnt liquorice made out of liquorice plants?

[@Templarofsteel88]

It's made from the root of the plant,yes.

[@goku445]

not in the USA.

[@jetfish777]

no the red ones i think

[@starshot5172]

Arte S. Yes, it grows on plants

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Yes, licorice root! ☺️

[@simpleeasycooking]

dam aussie accent :P

[@gloomsouls]

Sounds more Kiwi to me.

[@mw2538]

Thats kiwi!

[@benos4x4adventures49]

lol thats right mate lol 😂😂😂😂

[@netdeath]

Anus extract :D

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

But anis and licorice are two different things. If you want to make licorice, you need licorice root powder or extract, NOT anis extract, which is real yummy, but entirely different! ☺️

[@MsKyrakitty]

I about died laughing when he said that. Gotta love accents!

[@mamabapaajaiman]

COME ON PEOPLE!!he said anise extract.

[@darlioushumes127]

I thought he said anus extract

[@aisuru7851]

omg calm down they are just joking

[@goku445]

I'm fairly positive he said anus extract.

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Elly Ysf - No, he meant to say that, but said anus... 😹

[@rainkatt]

I've been looking for a recipe for black licorice, this is the firt one that sounds like it will work. Thanks for the video, and yes, I had a chuckle at you pronouncation of anise It's 'ann-NEICE' lol ;)

[@simpleeasycooking]

Thats outstanding! Thank you for letting me know :)

[@simpleeasycooking]

Yes i think so, its the flavour.

[@chrzrd.]

Did he just say anus extract!? 😂

[@bluecow8616]

I thoughtI was the only one

[@bryanreize1]

hahahaa!

[@aarongalloway9750]

It's his accent :3

[@njidechukwu7002]

No he said anise extract.

[@NobleMaN79]

Njide Chukwu Absolutely a hard A, he said anus

[@simpleeasycooking]

I don't see why not. I have never done it myself so if you do please let me know how it turns out :)

[@lonewolfgaming7556]

I'd make it blue to trick friends

[@simpleeasycooking]

yes

[@h4lflif360]

This isnt really liquorice because it doesn't have any kind of liquorice extract, its like calling sugar syrup as 'honey' just because it tastes sweet and has dark golden color.

[@hannes5234]

He put in liqourice extract...

[@mimethecat8849]

lord licorice is shookth

[@WootTootZoot]

Read the ingredients on the next package of licorice you buy at the store. Anise is an ingredient in licorice candy.

[@Illusionistical822]

"WELL ACSHUALLY!!!!" - I'm so smart thread guy

[@Cypeq]

Well he's right you know... that's just artificial flavoring he put in.

[@simpleeasycooking]

You know that sounds like a fantastic idea. I will try and do them next week, but please understand if i can't find the recipe i can't. But i will try :)

[@chrismcdermott7766]

Real licorice is made from some or all of these ingredients- black strap molasses, licorice root extract (which is much sweeter than sugar), coconut oil, sea salt, anise oil and wheat flour. . Unfortunately the European and scandinavian companies who make the best Licorice in the world will not divulge their recipes and process!

[@kockarot6362]

I liked =( Australian -- Capricorn Black licorice but thier products can not be found in North America anymore. I have looked for over a year now and I can not find any news online why this is. I even went to the website but it wasnt mentioned. The main company make at ton of different stuff but no news. It is like they just gave up.

[@magnificent6668]

My grandmother would make it. It isn't rocket science. What he's making is licorice flavored caramel ...(sans the "anus" extract) get some licorice roots and crush them a bit; steep them in water until you have a strong liquorice tea, cool and strain. Make a syrup with light molasses (or a some black strap with blue label Karo) combine this with your tea, a good pinch of salt & boil for about five minutes---slowly sift in a bit of cake flour and cook the slurry until it's quite thick. You can add some anise, if you'd like, but if you've used good licorice roots, you will have a candy with a strong licorice taste. Anyhoo, add a few pats of butter, stir in and let your candy blob cool enough so that you can handle it without getting burnt. Knead your candy with buttered hands and then roll out and twist, or press with a large button, or v. small cookie cutter. Then leave it on waxed paper loosely covered for an hour or two, then store in an airtight container. The firmness of your licorice will depend on if your syrup is boiled to softball, or firmball stage. Also, don't overdo it with the flour, or fail to cook off the rawness.

[@kathrynmcmorrow7170]

@@magnificent6668 Thank you so much for your guidance. I have absolutely all the ingredients and tools. Oh boy am I excited! I used to have a pasta maker attachment for my stand mixer. It could extrude hollow elbow tubes. But I have tons of canape cutters, and maybe if you roll it out thinly, dust it and make a rolled up roll to crosscut slice thinly, it could resemble "shoe lace" strips.

[@vickimikeseator9832]

From NZ what do you use instead of corn syrup ? And if you want a different flavour?

[@SluggoMcSlappy]

Hey Todd- Quick question: When you call for a tablespoon of something, do you mean a 15ml. US/UK tablespoon, or a big bad 20ml. Aussie tablespoon? (I ask on account of the accent) -love this channel!

[@deniseview4253]

Yum, I love black licorice. I’ll be making this.

[@redshiftexperiment]

1) who is going broke from the cost of liquorice? "gee honey sorry we can't go out tonight I blew the whole budget on liquorice.. 2) Whatever that came out from that .. does not seem like liquorice to me .. looks more like taffy in my opinion 3) I would rather eat anus extract 4) WTF?? LOL

[@chass5438]

At 2.99 a bag it would break me. lol. And I don't have a "Honey" to go out with anymore" I'm happily divorced !

[@HunterMann]

@@chass5438 $2.99 is not expensive. You just have to appropriate funds. For example if you went out to a bar to have one pint of good craft beer it would cost you at least $7 plus tip. Did you go out for a pint of beer tonight? No? Well then you can now afford two bags of licorice. Do you see how that works? Here’s another one. Do you think $2.99 is too expensive to spend on licorice? There are people who spend over $100 every night on cocaine, it ruins their health and usually ruins their career. When was the last time you heard someone having a licorice addiction problem Destroyed their life?

[@RavenIsAnArtist]

Don't like licorice, but I was curious to see what was in it.

[@jerekevansinactive5922]

Red licorice is amazing but the black one just no

Panda liquorice is tasty.

Deh panda on deh packet kinda looks sad though...

The Aura Tree what do you mean ‘deh’? Its THE.

[@simpleeasycooking]

Sure!! :)

[@msfs99]

Thank you for the video. My children watch them as well. How would you make it more solid, I guess I mean chewier? Does it need to stay in the fridge until eaten? Does it "melt" if you leave it out on the kitchen counter?

[@tgartner01]

Great vid, any suggestions for All Natural Black Food Coloring? If not, would using 5oz of Corn Syrup along with 5oz Blackstrap Molasses work for black food coloring? Thanks

[@scarletfluerr]

Suggestions? Sure. Order it off the internet like this doofus should have done for his "anus extract"!

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

I have wanted to make my own black licorice for years. thanks for sharing.

[@349Amauri]

hey man, congratulations from Brazil.

Just made this, they seem to have worked well but are more like liquorice toffee, but still really delicious all the same, thanks for uploading this recipe :)

[@metalmittens]

Anise /ˈænɪs/, Pimpinella anisum, also called aniseed, is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae native to the eastern Mediterranean region and Southwest Asia. Its flavor has similarities with some other spices, such as star anise, fennel, and liquorice.

[@Bennie58able]

Thank you! Because at 1:00, all I heard was *nus extract. You might understand how confused that made me as a foreigner.

[@AnarchyEnsues]

​@@Bennie58ableit tastes the same.

[@gregmulkin8016]

This is not a recipe for black liquorice, it's a recipe for aniseed flavoured candy. Liquorice is made with liquorice root, sugar, salt and a binding agent. It does not contain dairy products

[@Mijkie90]

That's not proper liquorice. Us Dutchies know the real stuff. ;)

[@JoyAngelyn]

Mijke Akkermans mee eens ben dol op liquorice maar kijk altijd naar het zoethout gehalte niet alle drop die in omloop is is gezond moeilijk om echte goede drop te vinden daarom is zelf maken ook een optie , leuk om de film te zien van Thod maar ga zelf proberen een gezondere combinatie te maken

[@MrClemmo13]

Mijke, I absolutely agree with you!

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

That is not licorice at all. If you use anise, you get anise candy, not licorice. If you use licorice root, you get licorice. This candy though, is just licorice flavored candy, not actual licorice. Wouldn’t count as licorice here in Norway either... Would love a recipe without corn syrup. Maybe you could just use golden syrup instead?

[@merijnhuizenga5631]

Jaa drop is zoo lekker

[@jpm83]

@@lottatroublemaker6130 About that syrup. Isn't proper liquorice sweetened with sugar and molasses or that dark syrup.

[@LadyVoldemort]

I use the auto-generated English caption and it wrote "anus extract" and yes, I hear "anus extract"...after laughing my ass out (or my anus out), I checked the comments section, and laugh some more...because apparently most of the comments were on the "anus extract". A comment said it was "anees" so I think it was actually "star anise"?

[@stepheningermany]

I think you mean anise not anus extract... at least I hope.

[@veganjem]

most black licorice I have had has NO dairy and usually does have molasses

[@helenvanmierlo8375]

1:00 automatic subtitles.... = anus extract

[@simpleeasycooking]

Really never used it myself. But i i would think as most floss is flavoured it might not be a great idea. But if its not, it seems like a sound idea. :)

[@dalekdalekdalek]

Thank you so so much :D I tried this and it worked perfectly! Yay, home-made licorice :) I love all of your recipes, keep up the great work.

[@davidffm2]

There really is, believe me! I just bought some in Stockholm. It is prepared from the root of the liquorice plant - I'm really not trying to be a smart-ass but you can read this up on wikipedia or other internet sources. Not widely known in the anglo-saxon world admittedly, but it is in the liquorice countries (Holland and Scandinavia) or specialist shops/eBay. You also get liquorice root extract as powder. These things are expensive, but very concentrated so you probably wouldn't need a lot.

[@bluefavorites1589]

Normal licorice has flour in it.

[@richardcarter-hounslow2862]

Yes, of course you can as you're just heating to a temperature in a saucepan.

[@mssummerrose1]

folks, white sugar, corn syrup and microwave are TOTALLY UNHEALTHY... and the black color should be attained by using the whole cane sugar, which is dark brown, nearly black and is not cristalized... and it should be real, natural anis (:DD) extract, not artificial... btw where is the liquorice root ? :) ? these candies are healthy if you use healthy ingredients and processes... keep up your health ! lve

This is no real liquorice. It might be nice and tasty but it is NOT real liquorice. It's candy with a liquorice extract in it so it tastes like liquorice. Real liquorice ingredients: search the web!

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

tomt iedom c Licorice extract is made from real licorice root, but he just used artificial licorice flavoring, which has no licorice at all, which is the reason this is licorice flavored candy, not actual licorice.

[@alfyan99]

Oh the classics

[@susiepeterson-lalonde4197]

OMG! Do you know how much I love black licorice, not that you would even care but I can't wait to try this recipe. I just watched your jelly bean video and I seen this video and wondering how hard it would be to make licorice jelly beans. :) my two favorite candies all rolled into one tiny little bean. I had just found Anise flavoring in our supermarket a week ago and had not seen it previously so I picked it up not having a recipe for this so now that I do I will be making it this evening.

[@haydenverstin7326]

How do u make the strawberry version of it?? well im guessing you just change Anise extract to whatever you want?

[@BosisofSweden]

I don't know what this actually tastes like but in my world you pick liquorice roots, boil for a while and then let it dry for a few days. This is just liqouorice flavoured fat and sugar.

so stir the whole time on what heat?

[@irisheyes5890]

Red licorice does not have anis in it I understand.

[@cat2556]

Lol the liquorice you buy at the shops is usually made from molasses. So by using real liquorice you've already surpassed the bought kinds in quality. Though I do love both molasses and real liquorice :) not sure why people combine it with Anise though, while they do go well together they're not at all related...

[@simpleeasycooking]

I will. Its on my list. But can't do it to soon as i have just done this one. But its in my future plans. Please send me a msg on my facebook page about it so i know who to credit the idea to :)

Thats what i was thinking myself but it may not be the case. I will look into it, and if its not the case i may make some as i have had a few people ask me now. :)

[@simpleeasycooking]

Yeah the light version should work, but can't promise as i have never used it before. I found the extract by doing a google search for an online stockist.

[@simpleeasycooking]

No surprisingly. I only used that because it had a flat bottom which was perfect for the bowl so nothing sticks to the bottom and burns.

1. Black liqourice is not known all over the world... most people have never heard of it. It's mostly a Dutch thing and norther European thing with some re-known in the rest of western Europe. The Dutch make the best stuff followed by the Northerners with their insanely salty delicious liqourice. 2. In the Netherlands, liqourice is just as cheap if not cheaper than regular candy, and there are a million different types 3. At least you are using real liqourice extract/flavour ... I saw someone else use anise lol
