Need licorice (candy) substitute - Page 2

Licorice was the only candy my Mom would eat. There are many health benefits to eating licorice. Now, I am not sure how many of these health benefits you would get from eating Twizzlers. BUT Twizzlers sure smell good and I happen to have a bag of Twizzlers right next to me. I like to open the bag and just smell it.

Not fair! LOL!

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

Twizzlers are not true licorice - even the black ones that aren't that popular. There are very few real licorice candies around now.

Twizzler nibs were recommended to me by my doctor as a small snack instead of chocolate since I'm a sweet junkie but he said to eat a few when I got cravings but - well- you know how that goes!!

It's the sugar! Old favorite of mine too. But think of the sugar as destroying teeth, and your whole body. I'm sure a lot of our ails are due to sugar.

Do you like all Twizzlers flavors or just the licorice (black) flavored? I haven't had licorice flavored in a long time, in fact I rarely see it in stores.

Well, I learned something new today. I never knew Twizzlers came in licorice flaver . . . I have only seen (and loved) the red ones.

So true!

"Real" licorice candy is expensive.
