Recipe:a licorice wand similar to that of Harry Potter

As Halloween approaches, some will soon be busy making costumes for their children. We don't tell you anything, wizards have been popular for several years, especially since the Harry Potter saga first appeared on the screens in 2001. If we leave it to small hands to develop Gryffindor capes and other Sorting hats, here's how to create the perfect wand, similar to that of JK Rowling's hero, and edible!

Dye to make the effect of wood

It is the American Rosanna Pansino, whose
Youtube channel is dedicated to culinary innovations, who created the recipe. The ingredients (the quantities of which are indicated in the description of the video) to make the liquorice baguettes are as follows:bread flour, sugar, corn syrup, condensed milk, butter, extract of anise, kosher salt and chocolate brown coloring. This last element will give the baguette its color and woody appearance! The recipe, although in English, is easy to follow:just mix the ingredients, then heat them in a saucepan before chilling in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Finally, all that remains is to cut the dough into different triangles, then twist each of them. Tadaaa, the magic has worked! Kids can cast spells and have fun at the same time!
