For the Love of Candy

I had the good luck to come across a bag of Switzer’s black licorice. I am quite happy to report this lives up to my experience with the chewy cherry twists.

These are licorice bites, a little bigger than a quarter, with holes in the middle. It comes in a black plastic bag, and it is delicious. It’s a mild licorice with a strong molasses flavor and a nice citrusy hint to it. It’s also delightfully chewy without any waxiness. Switzer has the best licorice. My mom found both this and the chewy cherry twists at Cracker Barrel, so if you’re looking for some of this licorice-y goodness for yourself, check there.
