Licorice Recipes

To wrap caramels: Tear off 6-inch strips of waxed paper; cut each strip into 4-inch widths, making pieces 6 X 4 inches. Roll caramel in length of paper; fold flaps under. Set caramels in boxes with flaps underneath. The caramels will pack neatly and stay tightly wrapped. *You'll find black and red paste for coloring these candies in specialty and cake-decorating stores.

Glenda, this is the only home-made licorice recipe I have found so far, that is 'from scratch'.
