Add 1 cup of molasses to a medium sized sauce pan. Heat over medium heat for five to 10 minutes, or until the molasses is thoroughly warmed. Heat gently, and do not allow it to boil or bubble.
Add 1 tsp. each of licorice root powder and dried anise root powder to the molasses. Stir well to incorporate the powder throughout the mixture.
Add 1/2 cup of flour to the molasses mixture, and stir in thoroughly. Continue adding flour, a few tablespoons at a time and up to 1 cup total, until a thick, workable paste is formed.
Remove the dough from the pan and place on a flat surface. Shape the licorice candy dough into several long ropes, about 1/2-inch thick by 6 inches long. Flatten slightly.
Roll the licorice candy ropes in powdered sugar and place on waxed paper to dry. Wait two hours for the candy to harden. Store it in a glass jar.
