odd, my phone didn't post that correctly. "I'm working on a recipe to replace my camel snus that I use too much as it is"
the recipe is below:
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup water
2.5 teaspoons of anise extract.
10 ounces of dry tobacco (I broke it up into large flakes) (I used YTB and some VBL, NOTE: Don't use VBL, it doesn't darken like classic chew)
Heat water and honey into pan until it's a soupy fluid, add in 1.5 teaspoons of anise extract (if using anise oil use 1/2 teaspoon), mix in tobacco and stir/heat over low stove temp until there is no remnant liquid remaining in the pan (tilt the pan sideways a bit and hold/press the moistened tobacco to make any seep out to check if it's dry enough.)
Put onto cookie sheet or similar oven safe pan. Drip 1 more teaspoon of anise extract (or 1/4 teaspoon anise oil) over tobacco, then place in 300*F oven for 15 minutes to begin drying tobacco.
Remove, let air dry for 24 hours and then make into bricks, plugs or use as loose leaf.
Has a very strong black licorice/root beer flavor with a very subtle taste of sweetness but not specifically honey.
here it is after being in the oven:
