  • 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.

    Mine did taste like taffy texture, but it had a bit of a caramel taste. I rolled mine in sugar as they were drying. Next time I'll do Apple flavour and sprinkle citric acid and sugar on it! Sour caramel apple. Flavour, and make red and green

    your licorice would spread better if you greased your spoon first. I've found when working with candy that a little grease on your spoon works out well as long as you don't over do it.

  • @THEOZZYFUL
    @THEOZZYFUL 9 лет назад +11

    maybe try tapioca starch instead of the flour?
    have no idea if it would work but i know tapioca starch gives a rubbery texture.

    I find the concept of fruit flavoured liquorice so strange! I'm from denmark and we are kinda known for black liquorice which is saltly and well.. Like black liquorice! I hate it but that's beside the point ;-) So strange seeing "liquorice" being other things too!

    • @trouble2711
      @trouble2711 9 лет назад +2

      Even our black licorice is very sweet not salty. The fruit flavored licorice is not licorice at all but a fruit flavor added to the same base as licorice, probably because most people don't like black licorice flavor.

    When you say Licorice it mean there is a licorice ingredients. It seems that candy it just a pure flour and butter, corn syrup? No licorice added? Even powder licorice?

    • @HTDel
      @HTDel 6 лет назад +1

      Although it said licorice, it is pretty rare that even licorice flavored things have licorice root and instead will use anise extract. She is making cherry licorice like twizzlers which is a bit of a misnomer as they do not have actual licorice.

    @ronwright2198 3 года назад +2

    If they taste like cherry flavored twizzlers. That tells me there nasty. I've herd the same from others, cherry is nasty. It's the strawberry that everybody likes. More then likely if someone says they like 🍒 there not paying attention and it's 🍓 they see red and think it's the same until they grab cherry. And say, what the hell is this!!! the difference between them is night and day.

  • @wildheart5
    @wildheart5 9 лет назад +3

    I think I would prefer these to the rubber-like licorice. I love licorice, the flavored ones, so I may give this a try if I can find the flavoring. Did you get it at The Bulk Barn or somewhere else? They look so delicious!!

    @DeeEll86442 9 лет назад +1

    If your trying to get a softer, more rubbery texture try using gelatin. Cooking it less will make it stickier and softer like carmel or taffy. So maybe if you use gelatin it will give that gummy texture it needs.

    • @englishatheart
      @englishatheart Год назад

      First, you mean "you're." Second, licorice, at least the kinds I've had, do not contain gelatin.

    Hi Tammy ! I think that there's some gelatin involved to get that rubbery texture so you could experiment with cooking time and compensate with some powdered gelatin

    • @englishatheart
      @englishatheart Год назад

      Nope. None of the licorice I have eaten contains gelatin. Good thing, too, as that means most are vegan.

    I wonder if you cooked the sugar to 245 and instead of letting it set, you moved it with a spatula like you do taffy and pulled it, if it would be a little less hard. Also, how do twizzlers get the hole in the center?

    • @yoyomax12
      @yoyomax12  6 лет назад +1

      I think that the commercial twizzlers are extruded through a mold that makes the hole in the center

    That's awesome! Can you buy black licorice flavour? I'm sure. Anise.
    Just a thought - maybe the texture was different cos a Twizzler is hollow in the middle..maybe it was too dense? Maybe try shoving a thin wooden skewer where you want your slices while still slightly warm? Then cut between each skewer, remove, twist? Either way - this is cool, and I'm gonna try with all sorts of flavours!
