I got a huge assortment of black licorice candies for my birthday, and I've been eating a few from a couple of new bags every day or so. Our household does not like the licorice snaps. I first tasted them with my kids, and when my wife got home we tricked her into eating some. We cackled about that. I just now tricked her into eating some of the pink ones (which to me taste like incense rather than soap--mind you, I've not eaten either)and she grimaced balefully at me and spat it in the trashcan.

It's not a nostalgia thing for me. I just tried them for the first time today. To me, they have a very genuine taste. I notice from the ingredients that it's because it uses at least some of the traditional, real flavors.. wheat flour, molasses, licorice granules. And then on top of that, the candy coatings lend a wonderful complex, perfumey overtone (especially the pink ones). This is quality candy for grown ups. I really enjoy them.

They are one of my favorite candies...especially the soapy-tasting pink ones. I can remember spending 2 cents for a box from the local candy store when I was a kid in Chicago in the 1950s. I can't get them in Canada, where I now live, but I occasionally order them from the U.S. (at considerably greater expense). I really enjoy these things, so it's worth the price to me. I try to ration these (a few a day) but it's hard for me to do. People either hate thes things or love them. They are one of my favorite candies…especially the soapy-tasting pink ones.

This is a very strange tasting "licorice" candy. I love almost any type of black licorice candy. My beloved girlfriend sent me a box of SNAPS in a recent gift package. I wanted to like them (I love her). I really tried. I chewed. I swallowed. I tried more. I just couldn't do it. I love you Heidi but this is the nastiest candy I've tried in a while. I’m with you.

They were and still are my favorite candy. I'm absolutely thrilled that they're back on the market. The first time I saw them at Target they were 1.49. They had just put them out. There were ten bags....I bought them all! Pink is my favorite. I eat all the other colors first and save the best for last. I'm sorry you didn't like them. You're probably just to young to appreciate the good things in life!(just kidding). When I was a kid Snaps were 2cents a box. They were and still are my favorite candy.

Not sure what flavor they are going for. Back to the good and plenty box for me.

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:43:18 +0000 http://candyaddict.com/blog/2007/05/10/licorice-candy-review-snaps/#comment-96668 i love Snaps, and i'm also a fan of the pink "soapy" ones, but i've been noticing an inconsistency in the flavor lately. In some of the boxes i've bought, the pink ones are a brighter pink color, and have none of the characteristic "soapy" flavor. am i the only one who's noticed? i've actually done A/B comparisons! Apparently the company is starting to compromise the flavor for greater mass appeal. If so, they can no longer claim to be the "original" Snaps. i love Snaps, and i’m also a fan of the pink “soapy” ones, but i’ve been noticing an inconsistency in the flavor lately.

I LOVE Snaps!! And always have. Especially the pink "soapy" ones. They were not available a few years ago, but I'm glad they're back. I plan to order some from target as I can't find any here in the south. Sorry to hear you didn't care for them. Maybe it's a "Boomer" thing! oooooh!!! I LOVE Snaps!! And always have.

If I could only choose one candy to eat for the rest of my life, it would be Licorice Snaps. My fave color is the tan ones. I love black licorice - Panda from Finland is a real fave. You can buy these at Walgreen's drugstore, as that's where I found them after American Licorice added them back to their product line after they had discontinued them. I guess there were so many of us fans that they decided to bring them back. Sorry you didn't like them candy addict!! Licorce snaps!!!
