Black Licorice ***** love it or hate it??

[johntheplinker]

One of my favorites, especially the one that comes shaped like Scottish Terriers.

When I was a kid Grandpa would always have a bag or 2 of those Scotties around. Probably where I got a taste for licorice.

Hard to find black licorice around here. Use to get a few bags of black licorice jelly beans about Easter but can't find them anymore. The last bag was black jelly beans, no licorice to them. Get very few of them in a bag of Classic jelly beans. Black licorice and black licorice jelly beans aren't the same.

Rural King usually has black jelly beans and black licorice whips.

Rural King stores are not around here. Closest we have to them is Tractor Supply. I'll check them out next time near.

A case (6 boxes) on Amazon is $22.

I found this at Cracker Barrel this morning.., Not bad. Better than Twizzlers crap but I like Wiley Wallaby and Scottie Dogs better.

Rural King has these Snaps imitations:

Rural King Candy Licorice Hollows, 6.5 oz.

Bite-Sized black licorice in an assortment of colors. This candy-coated licorice is soft, chewy, colorful, sweet, and delicious! *This information is valid at time of publication. However, recipes may change after this time so always check

www.ruralking.com

They have a thicker licorice tube and are softer than Snaps.

Rural Kings black licorice twists are also pretty good.

Love me some black licorice!! I’ve been drinking that Stash tea off and on for years. I’m NOT a tea person, but that stuff? It’s amazing!

Buddy of mine hates black licorice and always tells a joke that creating it was God’s only mistake. So to make it “not a mistake,” he made us crazy folk who like it.

I haven’t had any licorice in awhile (trying to cut back on sweets), but I might just grab a bag of my choosing (G&P, Wally’s, Snaps, or something else) for my drive to Frankfort and back this week!

I really miss black laces.

Licorice, regardless of color, is not much better than extruded plastic.

 

[Cameramonkey]

its tasty extruded plastic thankyouverymuch.

Black licorice, so bad it's the only jellybean left, except in that one house where numerous children surrounded the candy dish to see all black jellybeans. Right up there with diabetic candy.

Hate to break it to ya, but in several brands the white jelly beans are licorice too.

For all the licorice lovers here, if you get the chance try a piece or 2 of salty (salmiakki) licorice.I like to nibble on some when I've got the Finns or Swedes out, adds to the authenticity. It'll clear you out if you've got some chest congestion going on. And if you like Ouzo or Jager, Salmiakki Koskenkorva might be just up your alley.

I was going to recommend that myself. Iodine candy! Great stuff!

 

[wtburnette]

Love it, but only in moderation.

I believe my father and I are the only two people I know who like black licorice. Had some 'Big Ben' anise flavored toffee in Denmark, it is really unique.

Good to see I'm not the only one here who likes it!

Pic no worky...

Aussy stuff ain't that good. The Swedes and Norwegians have some great stuff though.

I always pronounce it "anus flavor" to annoy people. 30% of the time, it seems to work all of the time.

That seems unfair to anuses everywhere.

 

[MinuteManMike]

I dunno. Never tasted anus before. I have to think rancid vegetarian meat would taste better.
