I love to make anise recipes, and this flavorful candy is one of my favorites. Oftentimes I'll wrap up pieces in plastic wrap to share with friends. —Bea Aubry, Dubuque, Iowa

Candy Thermometers

We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.
