Recipe Notes
I mentioned that this sugar free licorice recipe is a work-around for making licorice. This is because the recipe for 'real licorice' depends upon the sugar that is provided from the ingredients to both add flavor and structure.
Also, I mentioned how to make this recipe into a 'black licorice.'
To make this recipe a 'black licorice' recipe. Use the unflavored gelatin to make this. Add black food coloring (a few drops or as desired) and a tablespoon to a tablespoon of anise extract.
