Licorice, Anyone?

Published on Wednesday, June 28, 2006, by Pat Hammond / Edit Post

Licorice comes in black, red, salty, or sugarless varieties. Here are some of the Chowhounds’ favorite online sources.

Economy Candy in NYC’s Lower East Side is a legendary shop that that stocks a large selection of black licorice, including Kookaburra brand, which some folks view with awe! Not many people seem to know these guys sell online, at: http://www.economycandy.com

Licorice International, out of Lincoln, Nebraska, has many types of imported licorice. Their Dutch and German selections are particularly worth a try; each has its own distinctive flavor. They sell salty licorice, too, which is very much an acquired taste. If you like red licorice, they offer a very nice sampler. Order at: http://www.licoriceinternational.com

For a good selection of sugar free, try Dutch Sweets, at: http://www.dutchsweets.com.

  • There is a much better licorice selection at www.marinamarket.com
    all of the licorice they have is real licorice if any of it is raspberry, strawberry, black cherry etc it all still contains black licorice extract. Here is a link to the licorice page
