268829 Thu Jun 22 18:48:42 -0700 2000 9 17 What's My Craving? 0 1416299 When I was a child, my grandfather introduced me to licorice snaps, a colorful candy with sugar over black licorice. About six months ago they stopped being available in my area or where my grandparents live. I'm dying to get my hands on them again. I love to eat them while I read. Any info on a source for them would be appreciated. Thu Jun 22 18:48:42 -0700 2000 0 Jennifer 1 1416327 The only place I have found these is thecandylady.com. I think they charge about $8.95/lb. If you find them anywhere else, please let me know. I have been searching for my brother who also loves them.

I want my Snaps back!!! Sat Jul 21 18:32:26 -0700 2001 1416299 0 Buzz 1 1418847 Oh boy--look what I found. Snaps lovers unite! Write and ask them to make them again!!! FROM http://www.licorice.org/LicoriceFinder/body_licoricefinder.htm Licorice Snaps One company that used to make them was American Licorice but they have stopped. If you'd like them back please contact: AMERICAN LICORICE CO., 2477 Liston Way, Union City CA. USA, 94587 Phone (510) 487-5500 or within the USA 800-220-2399. The National Marketing Managers is Will Miller 630-325-4853 Ext 12. Physical Specifications It should be noted that other companies made these products are well, for instance Sweets Plus (now out of business). Licorice Snaps were a hollow candy coated with pastel colors . They were very different than licorice pastels. As far as we know they are not currently in production anywhere. Although there are rumors about the COUNTRY GENERAL STORE having a brand. Also spotted under the brand name Evon. But we have NO details or source. More details: They were about 3/4's of an inch long and a little bigger around than a pencil. They were made out of black licorice and were a hollow tube of licorice. Each piece is coated with one color candy shell. The colors they have been made in are green, pink, orange, and white. They are not hard, but rather soft due to the hole. Sat Jul 21 18:39:26 -0700 2001 1416299 0 Buzz 2 1418850 Are these like the British licorice bits? The British version is striped and pastel-covered, some with 'sprinkles' and it has a wonderful flavor. Darn - I can't think of the name of them, right now! Sun Jul 22 14:42:33 -0700 2001 1418847 0 AliceJ 3 1418851 I'm answering my own question. The British 'version' is called Licorice All-Sorts! Is that similar at all in taste to Licorice Snaps? If you haven't tried All-Sorts - try it! Sun Jul 22 16:55:55 -0700 2001 1418850 0 AliceJ 2 1422729 I was able to locate Snaps at Harry & David's in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. They are sold in a one pound bag. Tue Aug 20 18:09:53 -0700 2002 1418847 0 Jenny Neuendorff 1 1419133 My dad loves these. I finally found two places that carry them www.nostalgiccandy.com and also http://store.yahoo.com/oryans/candy.html A little cheaper then $8.95 as previously posted and well worth it. Enjoy!
