DESCRIPTION
Black Jacks are renowned (or should be) as they are among the oldest candies in the United States, made in Ye Olde Pepper Companie, the nation’s first commercial candy store. Of course, history is one thing, but how about the flavor, texture, and style? These six-inch pieces are smooth with a golden brownish hue. The taste is unexpected - not licorice, as some suspect, but a warm flavor almost like the glaze on candied almonds or Cracker Jacks. They are not sticky or hard to eat and come wrapped in an old time paper wrapper.
Comes in a 1800s-style package of approximately six sticks.

Why Black Jacks Are Still Made the Old-Fashioned Way
What about the Gibraltar? The Gibraltar, the nation’s first commercial candy, was made by Mary Spencer around 1800. By 1806, she was selling the candy in her new shop – the first commercial candy company in the United States. When Mary Spencer died, her son sold the business to a man named George Pepper, hence the name – Ye Olde Pepper Companie. George Pepper made the Black Jack stick to match the Gibraltar although they are considerably different kinds of candy.

Michael Mims A very tasty old fashioned treat. It's not to sweet, but good flavor and no artificial coloring.
