Being the uber computer geek that I am, I can’t help but love these Ctrl-Alt-Delete candies, despite the fact that they are made with black licorice (YUCK). I’m sure Caitlin, our licorice expert would LOVE these. If they only made these in red “licorice” I’d definitely have to get some.
Unfortunately, they are all sold […]

Candy Review: Cinnamon Dollars
When this month’s Licorice of the Month Club box arrived, I was a bit dismayed to be immediately confronted with a strong cinnamon smell. You see, I hate cinnamon. Not dislike a little, but hate. However, for the loyal Candy Addict readers out there, I decided I should give these little cinnamon dollars a shot. […]
Today Is National Licorice Day
Today, April 12 is National Licorice Day! So go out and get yourself some licorice and celebrate! If you’re not into the real stuff (the black licorice), I heartily recommend some Red Vines - man they’re good.
If you are into the hard stuff, drop by Licorice International - they can hook you up with […]

Candy Review: Finnska Strawberry Bites
Another month, another delicious delivery from Licorice International’s Licorice of the Month Club. Truly, who could ask for more from life? This time around, I got to try Finnska Strawberry Bites, which are a red cousin to the black Sweet Finnish Licorice I tried last year.
Like the black, this red licorice from Finland is […]
Candy Review: Cinnamon-Flavored Fire Twizzlers
It’s a good day for a Candy Addict when you stumble upon a new candy that rocks your world. I was in Walgreen’s the other day picking up a prescription for my newly-acquired bronchitis (long story) and what did I see but a display of new Fire Twizzlers. A cinnamon Twizzlers! When had these […]
Licorice Candy Review: Black Opal Australian Red Licorice and RJ’s Raspberry Natural Licorice
This month, I’ve decided to combine two months’ worth of Licorice of the Month Club fare into one big happy post. The reason for this is twofold - first of all, with the holidays I’ve been absurdly busy, and second, the two candies I’m profiling are red versions of black licorice I absolutely love.
First […]
Black Dog Licorice Art On ABC’s Pushing Daisies
Is anyone else enjoying ABC’s Pushing Daisies as much as me? My wife and I thoroughly enjoy it - it’s quirky, odd, weird, and funny all at once. It’s like a good weekly Tim Burton movie.
I noticed in one of the episodes that Ned has a poster/print on the wall that says “Naturally […]
Retro Candy Review: Chuckles: Worth The Laugh
Chuckles Jelly Candy is one of those retro candies that I’ve noticed on select shelves but never felt the need to give a try. Until now, that is.
Chuckles are the product of confectioner Fred W. Amend who created them in 1921. These gummies were a result of Amend trying to keep gummies from “sweating” inside […]
Candy Review: Licorice Bridge Mix
One of my favorite licorice indulgences has always been Bridge Mix. When I opened this month’s Black and Red Licorice of the Month Club’s package, I was thrilled to find a nice little bag of Bridge Mix waiting for me.
Now, I’ve never quite understood why this fun mix of various licorice candies is called […]
