Make your own homemade red Twizzlers! These tasted remarkably like the store bought candy, but had a completely different texture.
Candy making playlist: • Homemade Candy Recipes
1/3 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
Pinch of salt (I didn't add any as I used salted butter in mine)
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp all purpose flour
Cherry flavoured candy oil (I used 10-15 drops)
1 tsp red food colouring (liquid) or a few drops of paste food colour.
Butter a 9 inch square baking pan (I used and 8x8" and it was fine)
Line with parchment paper, allowing pieces to hang over the edges of the pan. Grease the parchment.
Combine the butter, sugar, syrup, sweetened condensed milk and salt (if using) in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat.
Cook until the butter has melted and sugar is dissolved.
Continue to cook until the mixture reaches 250 to 255F. Reduce the heat to medium low if you find the bottom burning.
You have to stir this pretty much continuously.
The colour will darken as the mixture caramelizes, but I think this is normal.
Once you reach the proper temperature, remove it from the heat and stir in the flour, colour and flavouring oil.
Pour into prepared pan and allow to cool for about 30 minutes. Allow to cool until you can handle it without burning your hands and so that it is fairly set. Set enough so that when you cut it with a knife it stays in a rope shape.
Slice into 1/4" slices and twist. Cut into desired lengths.
***to make black licorice follow the same instructions, but reduce the corn syrup to 1/3 cup and add 2 tbsp of molasses. Use anise oil instead of cherry and add black food colouring instead of red.
BE SURE TO PUT YOUR POT/SPOONS IN A SINK FULL OF HOT WATER and the candy will just melt off after a bit.
This recipe found in the LCBO magazine called "FOOD & DRINK HOLIDAY 2014"
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
