where can one buy black licorice?

[onethatcares]

without taking out a heloc? I long for the days of Nibs but would even settle for a pack of Twizzler pieces.

1. The Vermont Country Store

They have several kinds from which to choose.

2. You could try Licorice International

3. The Walgreens down the street has a rack of vintage candy.

I don't know if they have Nibs, but they have Cherry Mash, & Necco wafers, Bit-o-Honey, & some other candy I remember from when I was a kid.

I love black licorice. I always got all the black jelly beans at Easter.

14. I've never seen that at the Walgreens near me. Where are you?

[Glorfindel]

4. Amazon sells it

The prices don't look too bad, but I've never bought any.

5. Enjoy, but be careful

Daily black licorice habit kills Massachusetts construction worker.

Eating a bag and a half every day for a few weeks caused the 54-year-old man’s heart to stop, doctors said.

15. When I was pregnant I was warned not to eat it by my doc. nt

7. You have just reminded me

I have a box of Good n Plenty in my desk drawer, thanks!

8. Just watch eating too much if you have high blood pressure or heart issues.

.

Every supermarket, Target, Wal*Mart, Sprouts, Aldi, Trader Joe's, Dollar Tree sells it.

9. Younger people aren't taking to Anise or real Licorice flavor

Older people like me as a kid lived on, and still love, this stuff. Unfortunately, I found from my Mother and older Sister why I shouldn't partake of real licorice any longer.

The problem with real licorice is consumption of licorice can lead to dangerously high blood pressure and dangerously low potassium levels (hypokalemia). Licorice contains glycyrrhizinic acid, which sets off a well-understood chain reaction of biochemical events in the body resulting in high blood pressure.

And kids today do not like the word "moist," hard candies, jello, Nesquik, and more along with black licorice. Best bet is to go on-line an get "licorice flavored" or de-glycyrrhizinated black licorice.

I miss it!

10. Cost Plus World Market

There's a decent variety of Dutch and German liquorice as well as Australian.

Most liquorice sold in the US doesn't have any actual liquorice in it, though, so beware. It appears to be some sort of plastic and rubber industrial waste byproduct with added sugar.

11. Dollar Tree.

12. Where have you looked?

The Walmart site I get ‘grocery delivery’ from has black licorice ‘Twizlers'.

The Smith’s grocery (Kroger) I use has ‘Panda Soft Black Licorice’.

My Target sells ‘Brach's Easter Black Jelly Bird Eggs’ and ‘Wiley Wallaby Black Licorice
Candy’

CVS sells ‘Gold Emblem Licorice Candy Bears’

Walgreens has 'Nice! Black Licorice’


Get the picture ?

13. Or black jelly beans

this is a valid question. Black licorice is nowhere to be found where I live. There is a very expensive British black licorice my store sells, but it's not the same.

[MuseRider]

16. I loved it as a kid

and still like it but have actually come to really love Red licorice. Twizzlers? NOT LICORCE! Twizzlers are something entirely different. Every now and again I can find some real licorice at Tractor Supply Company up by the check out.

I always eat the black gum drops and jelly beans. I do miss having it around and licorice gum! Mmmmmmm.

[sinkingfeeling]

17. Most Cracker Barrels carry it.

18. "licorice is the liver of candies"

22. +1000

19. Dollar Store for twenty cents an ounce, Baby!

Wiley Wallaby is made in USA, and I suspect it has a ton of ingredients She Who Must be Obeyed would object to, but for a dollar a pop, what the heck.

I really enjoy black licorice in moderation.

20. Some years ago I found a website that sold vintage candy. They offered Switzers Black

Licorice and I didn't buy any even though I used to just love it! I no longer have the URL but it shouldn't be hard to find!

[onethatcares]

21. thanx to all

for some crazy reason I began getting a hankering for the old time candies. Bonomo Turkish Taffy, Log Cabin Fudge, Nibs. MalloCups and a few others.

Jeez, I hope this isn't a side effect from the vax.

[blm]

23. Love MalloCups.

Don’t see them around much in NC.
