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

[@aaaaa1957]

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

[@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

[@RavenIsAnArtist]

Anise!! 🤣😂😭

[@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! ☺️

[@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.

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

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

[@simpleeasycooking]

This recipe needs to be exact :)

[@simpleeasycooking]

Thats outstanding! Thank you for letting me know :)

[@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?

[@rn8845]

I love black liquorice I am so happy you made this 💜🍋

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 :)

[@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... 😹

[@gunthersterling]

Amazing! Is it possible to do the spiral twist at home?

[@waukonstandard]

OMG looks so good my mouth is watering!

[@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!

[@simpleeasycooking]

dam aussie accent :P

[@gloomsouls]

Sounds more Kiwi to me.

[@mw2538]

Thats kiwi!

[@benos4x4adventures49]

lol thats right mate lol 😂😂😂😂

[@netdeath]

Anus extract :D

[@simpleeasycooking]

Thank you, its people like you the keep me doing this :)

[@saxum2171]

That just looks so devine & I got to give it a go bro!

[@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.

[@lonewolfgaming7556]

I'd make it blue to trick friends

[@simpleeasycooking]

Outstanding! Thanks :)

[@okbaeldjazairi8234]

Unlike the French who are very stingy, the English and also the English-speaking are generous people who are not stingy, but teach others with welcome and even for free. All good is in the one who learns and teaches. Thank you for teaching us .

[@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.

[@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.

[@vickimikeseator9832]

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

[@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.

[@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! ☺️

[@sarahs8371]

Panda liquorice is tasty.

[@Aurasmae]

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

[@reesewinters6784]

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

[@MaureenKo1]

Didn't know licorice could be made at home. Great recipe! Keep em comin' Todd!

[@jaystroa.k.adjfvshcity7777]

I absolutely love licorice thnx

[@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.

[@JulValStan]

I do. I really really love them. So thanks for this video

[@simpleeasycooking]

Agreed!!! Thats why i did that close up shot as i thought it looked pretty dam good :)

Did he just say anus extract!? 😂

[@aarongalloway9750]

It's his accent :3

[@njidechukwu7002]

No he said anise extract.

[@NobleMaN79]

Njide Chukwu Absolutely a hard A, he said anus

[@Jonayofsweden]

No liquorice root?

[@eldwinc9884]

seriously. this is just sugar on sugar on sugar. wheres the real ingredients here? no root itself?

[@mrntabor]

Where do you get the anise my Woolworths in Bonnyrigg never heard of it. They did have all the other ingredients though. Is this recipe as good as commercial liquorice ?

Looks delicious !

Normal licorice has flour in it.

Sometimes it is best to not know what is is your food.

[@Minyassa]

Also, what was in the pan that made the parchment stick and look wet, did you grease it beforehand or was it just water?

[@none12192]

If i get the juice from fennel can I use that instead of the extract

[@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?

[@helenvanmierlo8375]

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

[@simpleeasycooking]

Thank you so much! :)

[@BoogeyPL]

Just made them. Delicious

[@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

[@salomecordier2893]

Do you have a healthy recipe for us?

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.

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

[@simpleeasycooking]

Thanks for watching :)

[@simpleeasycooking]

Thank you so much :)

[@Tomtiedom12]

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.

what can i use to replace corn sirup? i cant buy this over here. thx for you uber cool recipes!

Sure!! :)

[@jabjabjabify]

Hello, and thanks for the recipe. I had a problem though. My batch turned out to stay in a mushy liquid form. I'm suspecting that I didn't get the heat high enough, as the thermometer seemed to stay at around a 101 degrees the whole time it was boiling. Is this because of the casserole you think?

[@tomskipton7908]

He's missing the addition of flour.

[@kockarot6362]

[@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.

[@rainkatt]
