Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup black licorice candy (available as fullsize licorice sticks)
- 1 cup red licorice candy
- Food coloring (optional for vibrant colors)
- Clear icing or edible glue (to secure the ropes)
- Wax paper or silicone mat for shaping
- Small edible gold or silver sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the Licorice Ropes: Cut the black and red licorice into equal lengths, about 8-10 inches long, to serve as tug of war ropes.
- Shape the Ropes: If you prefer colorful ropes, add a few drops of food coloring to the licorice before shaping. Use your hands or a rolling pin to straighten and elongate the licorice into uniform ropes.
- Secure the Ends: Use a tiny dab of edible glue or clear icing to tie or stick the ends, ensuring the ropes stay intact when pulled.
- Decorate for Authenticity: Add small sprinkles or edible metallic accents for a more game-like appearance, replicating the tension and excitement from the show’s visuals.
- Connect the Ropes: For a more interactive experience, attach two ropes side by side using edible glue, mimicking the tug of war setup from the series.
Notes
- Ensure the licorice is cut evenly for uniform ropes.
- Use edible glue sparingly to prevent excess mess or stickiness.
- Decorate with metallic sprinkles before the ropes set for a shiny finish.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain chewiness.
