Giveaway: Enter to Win Our Last Bag of Licorice Snaps!
Black licorice. When it comes to candy, this may be one of the most polarizing topics out there. Licorice haters may always hate, but licorice lovers are some of the most die-hard fans we know. So if you love licorice, then you already know that Licorice Snaps were a household name for generations.
In 1914, Martin Kretchmer founded the American Licorice Company in Chicago, Illinois. Back then, Black Licorice Twists were the focus, and when those caught on, the company began to expand their offerings. It wasn’t until the 1930’s, however, when The Original Snaps Chewy Classic Candy came onto the scene. This treat, with its chewy licorice center and pastel-colored candy coating, soon became a cult favorite amongst licorice lovers, nationwide. Through the years, The Original Snaps Chewy Classic Candy offered countless moments of joy to candy lovers young and old alike. But, in recent years, the candy was discontinued, leaving many a licorice connoisseur to get their fix elsewhere. We are always sorry to see the end of a retro candy, especially one as iconic as The Original Snaps. But then, we stumbled across something wonderful in our midst: one bag of The Original Snaps Chewy Classic Candy. How this single gem escaped us before, we aren’t certain. But, we’ve decided to host a giveaway for our last remaining bag of Snaps. After all, it could be the last bag left in the country, so it only seems right to send it off with a bang.

You could include a nostalgic memory, a funny event--anything that shows us not just how much you love and appreciate this special licorice treat, but why you’re deserving of the very last bite.

The winner will be chosen and notified via email on July 5th, 2018.

What wonderful memories, thanks for sharing! There’s a rumor that SNAPS will be back soon, so stay tuned at CandyFavorites.com!
My earliest memory of eating licorice Snaps was when I was four years old; my grandmother and my mother had taken me shopping in Baltimore; it was an overcast day and I was wearing my favorite dress which was gray with a grid of multiple colors of embroidered squares on the bodice; we were going to Montgomery Ward in Baltimore which was a multi story building; I remember eating the snaps as we shopped; Later they took me to a hobby store and bought me a drawing set. I am now 70 years old and licorice Snaps are my favorite candy and I think eating them was why I remember that day so well. I don’t understand why American Licorice discontinued a popular candy (although eating licorice at all is somewhat of a cult!)
Love this licorice and still crave the licorice snaps!! Please keep me updated as to the status of a possible comeback for this candy favorite for so many of us. I have bought these through a few candy distributors in years past, and was so disappointed when they discontinued the product. Here’s hoping it makes a comeback soon!
I was 3 the first time I had black licorice. It was the first candy I ever had. I would always get so excited when my mom would buy a bag. My mom and I would sit on the porch swing and eat the licorice while watching the dogs play in the yard. Even today 40 yrs later. Ever time my mom comes to visit. She brings a bag of black licorice for us to share.
My mom and I have had all different kinds of black licorice candy. Except for licorice "SNAPS". I hadn’t even heard of them until your post mentioning them. I would love to win this last bag to share with my mom. So I can make a new memory of sharing a new black licorice candy with my mom.
My mom is 95 years this year this is her favorite candy in the world. She always said she wish she could have just one more bag before she leaves this world.i sure would love to make her dream come true. why they stoped making snaps I will never understand its by far the greatest candy ever made. We my mom and I have a craving that will never go away
