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. So, time to flex your creative muscle! We can’t wait to read your responses. Snaps Giveaway responses will be accepted until July 2nd, 2018. The winner will be chosen and notified via email on July 5th, 2018.

I bought 2 bags of snaps for my brother-in-law who loves licorice and especially Snaps. He said it the best Christmas present he could get.
I love Licorice Snaps. It was the only thing I wanted for my Birthday, Father’s Day, and Christmas. My Son used to find them at a candy store in Arundel Mills Shopping Center and get me 5 lbs of them. I also used to purchase them at a candy store at the Potomac Mills Shopping Center. I have not been able to find them for the last couple of years and have been eating the “filled” Licorice Snaps. When I worked for Government (I retired 4 years ago), I used to keep a large jar of them on my desk for eating all day long. Its funny because you have to develop a taste for them. My coworkers would come over and I would offer them a licorice snap and they would eat just one and never ask me again. I didn’t mind because no one raided my snacks. I have loved them since I was a kid and would really, really, really appreciate and savor the last bag of licorice snaps.
It was the one candy we could send to my brother in Vietnam that would not break or melt…and it was his favorite candy!!!!!! So He always had a smile on his face when he received them..He said made him " Remember Home and forget the the war for a little while" He still loves them and I always buy him some when I can .. Wish you still made them!!!!We my brother and I love them !!!!!!
thank you for the chance to win the last bag of snaps
MY MOTHER AND DAD OWNED A SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY STORE WHEN I WAS GROWING UP. MY DAD USED TO GIVE ME A BAG OF SNAPS AT LUNCH TIME SOME DAYS, I WOULD TAKE THEM BACK TO SCHOOL AFTER LUNCH AT HOME, WE LIVED 4 BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY SCHOOL. I WOULD SHARE WITH MY FRIENDS, AND THEY CALLED ME THE CANDY MAN. I STILL TALK T0 A FEW OF THOES KIDS AND THEY STILL REMEMBER THOES DAYS AT SCHOOL. I DESERVE THE LAST BAG , AS I AM 76 YEARS OLD AND LOVE THE SNAPS TO THIS DAY. I WOULD BUY THEM ANY TIME BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY WHEN I TRY TO ORDER THEM AGAIN. I LOVE THEM,ALL MY LIFE.
