Do be careful of the amount of licorice you eat; some persons may have a heart condition and licorice has been known to affect the hearts of those people. (Ask me how I know!)

It is still available through the Vermont country store, usually at christmas time. It comes in a BAG.
peace

When I was a child my Dad and I shared the licorice that you are talking about. I think he got it in a small coal bucket like pail with the little hammer. I have seen the candy in Cracker Barrel but it seems to me that it is just like a hard candy. What dad use to get was truely hard just like a chunk of coal. Instead of breaking off in pieces it broke in shale like slivers. If it aint black it aint Licorice where I'm conserned!! LOL

I am a licorice "addict" of sorts, who has just discovered licorice tea. Yummmm! No DUI's or cigarette runs for this girl just her licorice fix!:p

Australian licorice is sooooo good. WAlgreen's carries it. If you live in WA state, check Bartell's Drug Store. You'll be delighted with the quality. Watch out! It's addicting!
