For those of you who, like myself have missed the heck out of black licorice flavored chewy candies and have noticed, due to the rarity of demand (let's face it- not too many people like it) it is an almost impossible flavor to find in sugar free.... i have stumbled across an incredible edible breakthrough! Yes, chewy black licorice candy is now something you can create for your very own private chewing pleasure, right in your own home! YES! You read that correctly....IN YOUR OWN HOME! How To Prepare: Dump all 7 packets of gelatin powder into the pan, add the Splenda, pour in the water and mix untill you have a semisolid spongy lump, then turn on the heat to medium and stir untill it is all melted, add the tablespoon of Anise flavor, continue stirring for a short time- a minute or two- not long and then pour into long stripes onto the foil wrapped pan, let it setup a bit and then place in the fridge, in a few minutes you can peel off the strips of gummy candy and chew away! I was going to try making this authentically black, but i don't have any food coloring- so mine isn't those beautiful glistening green/black strips....it looks like a big tapeworm..... I hope someone tries this and likes it.... the recipe was adapted from a recipe in the RR here,listed under Gummy Bears, by "Unknown". Number of Servings: one, unless you feel like sharing Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known: Count for the Splenda, but i think the Knox is carbless Preparation Time: Gosh, like 10 minutes Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy Source: icebear

Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: I can have black licorice again! Cons: None I've missed black licorice so much, and the one sf kind that I was able to find still had like 7 carbs per serving. This tastes exactly like good ol' black licorice minus all the extra stuff I don't want. =) Ceze Senior LCF Member Registered: December 2002 Location: Wisconsin Posts: 556 Review Date: Thu May 20, 2004 Would you recommend the Recipe?

Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Easy and Fun Cons: None To cut down on the carbs, I substituted 1/2 cup sf vanilla davinci's for the water and dropped the granulated splenda. I also added a little stevia. Came out excellent--basically no cals, no carbs with the davinci's!!! Lots of fun! tater123 Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2005 Posts: 1 Review Date: Tue January 11, 2005 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Easy, cheap, good Cons: None Thank you so much for posting this recipe !! My husband LOVES licorice, and you're right, it's impossible to find sugar free. Very simple to make - and it's ready to eat in just a few minutes. We also bought some root beer flavoring and I'm gonna try that today. Thanks again !! absolutepenny Senior LCF Member Registered: May 2005 Location: British Columbia Posts: 76 Review Date: Tue December 13, 2005 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Easy and fast Cons: none This is soooo good! I have found SF licorice in Canada but it is very expensive. This is not bad and it is ready so quickly. I can just whip some up whenever I feel the urge.... Thanks!
