New! Fox's Glacier Dark Licorice from Licorice International

Fox's Glacier Dark Licorice and Anise candies have long been favorites in England.

And now they're available from your favorite source for licorice from around the world: Licorice International. No need to pay international shipping to taste this unique treat. To order Fox's Glacier Dark, click here.

Edible Necklace for Mardi Gras or Just for Fun

Here's a great idea for Mardi Gras, or anytime: Create an edible necklace out of Black Licorice Laces and Old Fashioned Snaps, both available from Licorice International.

Each section of Black Licorice Laces is just the correct length for a necklace, and the Snaps work perfectly for beads.

Simply string the Snaps on a piece of Black Licorice Lace just as you would a necklace. If the licorice doesn't fit in a Snap, simply make the hole bigger by inserting a skewer and/or squeezing the Snap between your fingers. You can put the beads on using a pattern, as I did in my example, or use random colors. You may want to personalize it by adding colored miniature marshmallows or ring-shaped cereal or candy.

When you've finished stringing the Snaps on the Laces, simply tie the two ends together with a simple knot, just as you would with a balloon. Reinforce with another knot. Pull the ends tight, but be careful not to tear the Laces.





Then get ready to enjoy Mardi Gras!

"Thanks for the licorice" from troops in Afghanistan

Packages of licorice are encouraging the troops in Afghanistan.  Through Licorice International's unique program called "Treats for the Troops," licorice lovers can send a shipment of Kenny's Licorice Twists to men and women serving in the Armed Forces. For more information on the program, click here.

We recently received a thank you from troops in Afghanistan, including these great photos of soldiers enjoying licorice:

Dear Licorice Ladies,
I want to thank you for taking the time to send some licorice to my soldiers here in Afghanistan. As you can see the licorice brought a smile to every soldiers face that received the licorice. You ladies are great Americans who support and remember that daily our soldiers sacrifice their lives, bodies, and time with their families to keep our borders safe and secure. These particular soldiers that you see in the pictures are doctors, nurses, or medics that care for the wounded soldiers at our Forward Surgical Support hospital. They will work for hours on end to ensure that the wounded are take care of and that they receive the best care possible. God bless each and every one of you who contributed to sending the licorice and most importantly letting the soldiers know that Americans love them enough to take time out of their day to support them. God Bless!
Chaplain (CPT) Ice, Timothy of 426 Brigade Support Battalion of the 101st screaming eagles.

Bequet Caramels are Amazing, and There's Even a Licorice Flavor

I've always been a fan of caramels. But now that I've tasted Bequet Caramels, nothing else compares. The gourmet taste combines the goodness of homemade with an elegance fit for royalty. They have a soft, not-too-chewy texture with a great mouth feel.

Now you can sample three of the most popular varieties for only $5. The Bequet Caramel Sampler from Licorice International includes Traditional Soft Vanilla Flavor, Celtic Sea Salt® and (of course) black licorice. My personal favorite is the Celtic Sea Salt®. The combination of sweet caramel with a bit of salt will amaze you.
