Cost information for the following is not included. Normally this is because the quantity or ingredient is unknown
2 teaspoons anise extract*
1 teaspoon black food coloring paste**
Recommended brand for Anise Extract is Star Kay brand, that I bought on Amazon.com
Recommended black gel paste is AmeriColor Super Black #101, order on Amazon or Etsy.com
NOTE: You don't have to add black food color, as the caramels will be a dark brown. However, I like the black color, and that it hints of licorice flavor.
