From Bites to Twists to Bridge Mixes - There's a Wide Variety of Licorice to Enjoy!

Where Licorice Comes From

Licorice root comes from a shrub native to Europe and Asia, and has been used over the years for its medicinal uses (including being an expectorant and cough reliever) as well as its flavor.

Some licorice roots are actually 50 times sweeter than sugar! And that’s part of what made it a frontrunner in the candy industry. In the U.S. candy industry, the anise plant is what most confectioners get their flavoring from.

Whether you like that distinct flavor found in the black varieties, or prefer a fruity twist, our featured candy shop (below) has it all! They carry the largest selection of candy online and that includes all of the black favorites - bites, wheels, bridge mixes, pastels, laces, Scotties, twists, vines, and even hard candy. And if you’re looking for the fruity twists and such, the variety is huge and includes classic cherry, watermelon, orange, green apple, grape, cinnamon, peach, and more!

So have a look around, and choose from a smorgasbord of these unique treats!
