Method
- 1
Mix the ingredients in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Let the mixture simmer steadily for 15–20 min. Stir occasionally, especially towards the end of the cooking time, to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom.
- 2
When the caramel begins to thicken, drop about ½ tsp of the mixture into cold water. Let it cool for a moment. If the mixture firms up in the water so that you can shape it into a ball, the caramel mixture is ready.
- 3
Pour the mixture into an approx. 17 x 17 cm dish lined with baking paper. Let it set. Cut into pieces. The caramel cuts best when it has cooled completely.

Wrap the pieces in cellophane (or place them on baking paper in a box) and tie the ends with string or ribbon.
- 5
Add 75 g of very finely diced licorice to the boiled mixture. Pour the mixture to set.
