For as long as I can remember, these strongly flavoured chewy candies have been present in our home at Christmastime. I'm talking about Allsorts and this year, I'm incorporating them into a no-bake confection. These licorice squares are uniquely delicious!

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon anise extract
- 250 grams digestive biscuits, crushed
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
- 375 grams Licorice Allsorts, roughly chopped
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Fold the parchment paper so that it fits snugly in the pan. I use two sheets – one folded to fit the length of the pan and another folded to fit across the pan. Allow the excess parchment paper to hang out over the side of the pan. Once the confection is firm, use the excess parchment to lift the whole block out of the pan to make it easy to cut into squares.
- Transfer the digestive biscuits to a food processor and pulse until you are left with fine crumbs. Set aside.
- Add the butter, sweetened condensed milk, golden syrup, and anise extract to a large, microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave at half power in 30-second increments, stirring well between each increment until the mixture is melted and smooth.
- Add the crushed biscuits, coconut, and chopped allsorts to the mixing bowl. Stir well to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it in so that you have a very flat, firm layer. Place the pan in your fridge for 30 minutes.
- Place the milk chocolate and coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at half power in 30-second increments, stirring well between each increment until the mixture is melted and smooth.
- Pour the chocolate over the cookie base and spread it out to an even layer. Transfer to the fridge for one hour before cutting into squares.
- Package and a food-safe container and keep refrigerated.
