Licorice

Licorice is perhaps one of the most classic candy favorites out there. Licorice is a semi-firm and moderately sweet candy that is available in several flavors such as classic black licorice, cherry, green apple and strawberry. Some licorice is even coated with a sour sugar coating that will make your mouth pucker. Licorice has a unique flavor and firm yet chewy texture that sets it apart from other types of candy.

The history of licorice dates way back to the thirteenth century, making it one of the oldest known forms of candy, and it is still popular today! Licorice is made by forming a paste from its ingredients, which are essentially sugar, licorice extract, molasses and starch. The paste is then squeezed through a nozzle, cooled, cut and then packed for distribution. Unlike most other candy, licorice contains barely any fat, so it is deemed to be a healthier candy than most. Diabetics often eat black licorice candy to assist in regulating blood sugar levels. Some people find black licorice to be a mild laxative, and use it to ease constipation and cramps.

Licorice is fun and tasty to eat, and is not sticky so it won’t make a mess like many other gooey, messy candies do. That being said, they are great for kids’ birthday parties as a snack or party favor. If you get licorice that comes in a string shape, the kids will have a great time making bracelets and different shapes with the flexible candy ropes. Talk about a multi-task treat! These stretchy, non-sticky candies are delicious and so much fun to eat.

Licorice is a traditional favorite for children and adults alike. Their chewy texture and deliciously unique flavor makes it a yummy snack you won’t want to run out of. Order our gourmet licorice treats to fill up your candy bowl at home and at work.
