Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- pinch salt
- 1 tsp anise extract
- 1/2 tsp black food coloring paste
Methods/steps
- Line a 9-inch square pan, with aluminum foil. Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray.
- Using a large saucepan, melt butter over a medium heat. Add the condensed milk, sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir until combined.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stir often. Be sure to use a candy thermometer, boil until it reaches 245°F, a firm-ball stage. Stir frequently so that it doesn't scorch on the bottom of the pan.

- Pour the candy out into the prepared pan. Allow to sit at room temperature overnight, or refrigerator for faster setting.
