Liquorice cream caramels

After I cracked the code of making cream caramels, which are not having a fluid structure (Valentine Day Cream Caramel) and I noticed how fast these caramels disappeared into mouth, I have been thinking about making liquorice cream caramels.

Therefore I have been on a small sight-seeing tour on the Internet looking at various recipes on liquorice caramels. Here I noticed, that the level of liquorice in my opinion was on the low side. I mean, as liquorice is part of the name, the taste should have liquorice character !!!! So I ended up with using a combination of sweet liquorice syrup and raw liquorice.

Based on feed-back from various tasters, I will see, if I should stick the amount or if it should increased or decreased. I can see the worried mind of my good girl friend in Horsens, as we have different threshold for, when a liquorice is in balance or too dominating.

Another thing I need to consider, when making caramels in my little kitchen, is, where is the cat ? It is not a great combination to have a cat running around in the kitchen, when you are working with this very, very warm sticky caramel mass of up to 137'C. So I need to ensure, that Hannibal the Cat is occupied hunting mice on his hunting area or sound asleep upstairs.
