"Old fashioned anise candy. My mother made this for us growing up and I love it. Some people refer to it as Rock Candy. You will need a candy thermometer for this recipe. My brother used to take baggies of this to school and sell them. (Of course, mom didn't know that!) Love this candy and so did the kids at our school. Licorice tasting hard candy."
