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.

I love the black licorice and my sister really loves them and I would share them with her . We would really enjoy them. Hopefully we have the chance to have them and enjoy them. Thank You!
I often wondered why my favorite candy was called snaps because often they did not “snap”. This bestest ever licorice candy needs to be in my mouth again. If only I knew how to make this wonderful treat!
i remember being able to enjoy Snaps in front of all my friends, because I was the only one who enjoyed not only the black licorice taste, but the thin candy coating flavors. Popping a Snap, two or three in my
mouth and chomping down with a bit of a collapse, thus the Snap! Yummo. I can close my eyes and remember those days. As I recall, the package was entirely too small for me. Would love to once again crunch those hollowed out marvels between my teeth.
I thought I was hoarding the last bag of Snaps! Both my brother and I have been Snap fanatics since the 1950’s. This last week my brother and I went on a racing vacation to Pennsylvania. I broke out what I thought was the last bag of Snaps on Earth. My brother went through those Snaps like Grant through Richmond! He ate them all, the pig. They are all gone. You must see that I am in desperate need of a bag of Snaps
I am 79 years old and have enjoyed SNAPS ever since I was a young child. One thing I always did before eating a SNAP was to blow through the SNAP seeing what appeared to be a “puff of smoke” come out the other end. People would always ask “what I was doing.”
