This is the basic "glass candy recipe",aka "hardtack" or christmas candy. The flavor can be any flavor, but use 1/2-1 teaspoonful of flavoring OIL...otherwise use 1-2 TBS of flavoring...anise is one of many flavors and is usually made blue, black or clear.

I tried this recipe, and though the candy tastes good, there is not much flavoring. I have tried to add more flavoring & add flavoring at a different time. I am beginning to thing it is the brand I am using...any advice would be great!!

Hi, My Grandmother used to made this for us when we were little, we loved it. Watch out, because it's great for pulling out teeth...very sticky.
