In less than 100 years, the medicinal root of the glycyrrhiza glabra plant transformed into an array of licorice sweets that we know today. On this collection, you’ll start with the Licorice Root… not only was it tasty, but people used it as a medicine and chewed it as a toothbrush. And yes! It does taste like licorice. You’ll enjoy Good & Plenty, with its crisp sugar shell and licorice interior. Did you know Good& Plenty was the first branded candy, made in 1893? There’s British Licorice Allsorts (1899), created when a confectioner accidentally spilled licorice selections on his tray; Licorice Laces (1920s), used by Charlie Chaplin in the Gold Rush; and Licorice Pastels (1930s), genteel and delicious. And don’t forget the newcomers - Licorice Wheels (1960s); Chalk Licorice (1970s); and Licorice Bridge Mix.
