Salted Black Licorice and Almond Cupcakes

The recipe for these cupcakes immediately caught my eye as I browsed through Google Reader. Anise and Almond are two of my favorite flavors. I jumped for joy at the thought of them together. I had to make them, they had to be divine.

And I was right. Such a beautiful combo. And I must say, my addition of extra anise (1.75-2 tsp total)and fleur de sel and Good and Plentys on top was spot on. 

Not a black licorice fan, you might still like these. A couple people who had one of my cupcakes didn't like black licorice either, but they liked these alot. Love black licorice? You will just adore these.
