Licorice
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup light Karo syrup
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1/2 teas. salt
1 teas. Anise extract
Mix milk, syrup, butter and sugar in a medium saucepan. Cook to 250 degrees. Stir constantly.
Take away from heat and add last two items. Pour in well buttered pan, (a cookie sheet, or if you want it thicker, use a 9 x 13 dish. Since this is more like taffy, it might be hard to get out of a smaller dish.)
Cool and break into pieces. But this never breaks - it always makes taffy!
