Anyone like licorice?
« on: October 30, 2010, 03:58:42 PM »
I found this recipe on the web (DarDreams).....I have never heard of Fiberfit liquid, has anyone used it?
I haven't made them yet but I plan to try them at Christmastime because I love licorice and gummy candy!

Licorice Goo Drops
 
1 tablespoon Fiberfit Liquid
1/8 teaspoon anise extract
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons granular erythritol
1 tablespoon glucomannan powder
Extra granular erythritol
 
Lightly grease a silicone candy mold or mat.  (I used small heart-shaped molds.)  Set aside.
 
In a small bowl, whisk together Fiberfit, anise extract, water, and 2 teaspoons erythritol.  Whisk in glucomannan powder just until starting to thicken.  (Don’t overwhisk or it will set up too quickly.)
 
Press mixture into molds or shape into small balls on silicone mat.  Let sit at room temp for 1/2 hour.
 
Sprinkle extra granular erythritol onto a saucer or plate.  How much you need depends on the size of your goo drops.  Remove the goo drops from the molds and roll or press each one into the erythritol to cover all sides.   
 
I got 10 small hearts with 0 carbs each.  These should be room temp stable, but I ate them too soon to be sure.  ;+)

I found a small box of 100 percent pure licorice at a health food store. Zero carbs and very strong flavor in each tiny piece.

They sell sugar free licorace at amazon but its one carb per stick.(about a 5 inch stick) I like the idea of making my own better.Report back  after you make it.Black licorace is doug favorite! ;)

I love black licorice, too. I'll have to look for some. Not sure if I'm feeling up to making it myself.

Most commercially made licorice out there is made with Malitol or Sorbitol......careful of the portion control, causes gas or worse.

LOL! I just saw this. Still too chicken to make it myself. I did try the SF Strawberry Red Vines while coming home from Billings this weekend. They're not bad, but I have to stick to ONE portion size. When I don't, I'm so miserable. Being in labor isn't as bad ...  :D

Well, I was way under my carbs and hadn't eaten much, so I ate some SF Peppermint Patties on our way home from Billings. THEN I decided to eat some of the licorice. OMG! I felt like I was going to die. I told Rick to never let me do that again. It was awful. I need to learn to eat one or the other -- not both and no more than a serving. At least with labor, you know it's going to end!  :D
