just wondering about recipe. can i sub glucose syrup for corn syrup.
also can i boil down licorice root, fennel and anise seeds or add sambuca for flavor. of course the alcohol is boiled off. what about coconut sugar or birch xylitol.. ok with wheat flour and blackstrap molasses. i live in phillipines and cant find black food gel. as well as birch beer soda. they wont ship from states. licorice lovers gotta like root beer, saparilla, birch&creme sodas

twizzlers not licorice. panda is licorice. common in states

Thanks for your junky comment.

Don’t know what to call this but it’s NOT licorice! Just as salt is not pepper, anise is not licorice. This is junk!

Just as a point of interest, “red licorice” is not actually licorice at all. And, technically, neither is this since it was made with anise. True licorice is made with liquorice root extract. Though anise has a similar flavour, and is commonly substituted for real liquorice, nothing beats the real thing.

I agree. Licorice is a flavor and it is the black candy the red is either cherry or strawberry flavor so it is NOT licorice.
