How to Make Anise Candy
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ¼ cup water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
- Continue boiling without stirring, and using a candy thermometer, cook until the mixture reaches the hard-crack stage (300-310°F).
- Carefully remove the pan from the heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon anise extract and a few drops of your favorite food coloring (optional).
- Gently swirl the pan to mix the ingredients. Do not stir vigorously.
- Immediately pour the hot candy mixture onto a buttered or parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a buttered knife, quickly score the candy into desired shapes or squares before it sets.
