    Licorice in CHOCOLATE?

    That's an abomination. I'm sitting here feeling truly offended on chocolate's behalf. What did it ever do to deserve such treatment?

    Why is carrot cake a thing? Why in the world did someone look at cake and say to themselves, "This needs a vegetable"?

    Because you need a means to shovel in cream cheese icing. And I love me some Swiss Cake Rolls.

    Fruitcake? Well, if you are what you eat....

    Salted licorice? Never heard of that. You take a nice cherry Red Vine, and somebody went "This needs sodium" WTF is that?

    Like all things, Spam (in moderation) is okay. Cubed and mixed with scrambled eggs is better than ham, IMHO.

    3 Musketeers? Only candy that gives me instant diarrhea.........just horrible

    Salted licorice is licorice flavoured, not red vine flavoured (calling that stuff licorice is wrong imo)...

    i live in denmark where licorice is in literally everything.
    • Salted licorice? Got it.
    • "Sweet" licorice? Check.
    • Licorice in Chocolate bars.
    • Licorice in Ice Cream.
    • Licorice in cookies.
    • Licorice in bread.
    • Licorice in alcohol? of course.
    • licorice flødeboller? you bet!
    • Licorice gum? hahaha

    Welcome to my licorice hell.

    I love European licorice - but I can see how it is an acquired taste. FWIW, it isn’t flavored with table salt, it’s Ammonium Chloride a/k/a Sal Ammoniac. It has its own unique flavor, and European licorices aren’t always even prominently flavored with anise extract, the flavor most Americans think of as “licorice flavor”. Licorice root per se, to my palate, is pretty flavorless, sweetish with just a little overtone of Earthy mustiness. More medicinal than culinary.

    When I was a child, 1970s, licorice ice cream was available in the US, particularly around Halloween, and that was a personal favorite, too. I haven’t seen it in at least 30 years.

    I actually like fruit cake (homemade), rum cake, liquor filled chocolates...I don't like store bought baked goods like Little Debbie or Hostess stuff.

    *raises hand* I'm keeping 3 Musketeers and Circus Peanuts on the shelves, single-handedly.

    3 Musketeers are alright, but holy crap I forgot about Circus Peanuts and their terribleness.

    Exactly how can they even call it corn. Why does the corn industry not sue for defamation of character.

    It is made of corn syrup perhaps? :o

    it's called candy corn because it looks like kernels of corn.

    I personally love it and circus peanuts. :)

    I loathe licorice. The only thing remotely licorice flavored I can handle are anise flavored pizelles, and I haven't had them in years since I was diagnosed with celiac disease. And I think I used to like them more for the nostalgia factor than the actual taste. My grandmother made really good pizelles.

    Wax candy bottles. And Thrills gum. Oh and rum-raisin ice cream. (I'm not normally big on rum, though I do like it with cinnamon in a sauce for cooked fruit. The raisins just make it worse, though.)
