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.
To enter the giveaway, make a strong case for yourself in the comments section below: why should we give you our final bag of Snaps? 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.

Because we are old licorice lovers, we will be celebrating our 40th Anniversary this year and we love licorice. We love each other too.
It’s the first candy my parents bought me as a kid. Knowing how much I liked them (at that time they were in a box) my dad bought me 12 boxes (one a month) for the time he was in Korea. I really hate they aren’t producing them anymore
I have always bought Snaps since I was a child they have been my favorite candy. Buying all the bags I could find at Walgreen’s or any other grocery or candy vendor I could find. My husband never could understand why I ate or like snaps so much, but I have eaten them forever as long as I can remember and I will be 65 yrs of age of the 1st of July and it would be wonderful to purchase a bag.
when are 3 kids were young 2 boys 1 girl my oldest son about 6-7 years old, the three would lay on the floor watching tv. Steve the oldest would hide snaps in his socks and when the time was right he would sneak one out and eat it, boy got away with this for some time before the other two caught him,
good memories…
I grew up on snaps. I’m 69 and miss them so much. Every bite is a taste of my childhood!
