Buying licorice as a gift

Not everyone’s a licorice lover, but for those who are, it’s like being part of a special club where there’s always plenty of licorice at your fingertips! 

There’s nothing quite like the flavour of licorice, and licorice lovers will be drawn to any food or beverage that tastes similar, whether it be star anise, fennel, aniseed, molasses, sarsaparilla, root beer or even sambuca.

When you buy licorice for that someone special, it demonstrates that you know them well, as licorice is such an acquired taste. It also shows you have the utmost respect for their adoration of this uniquely-flavoured confection. 

The Chocolate Box has plenty of gift options in our Licorice Collection, with many being tastefully wrapped for easy gifting.

Great ways to enjoy licorice

The Chocolate Box knows what our licorice lovers want, and have the perfect offering of tasty licorice morsels in our Licorice collection. Take advantage of our Licorice Legends campaign in August and grab yourself and your licorice loving friends some of the following delectable licorice treats.

Licorice Logs

These are chunkier versions of the classic chocolate bullet, as we make sure there’s plenty of chocolate coating so that you get a great balance of chocolate and licorice. Our bags of chocolate licorice logs come in a range of sizes, so you can order as much or as little as you like.

Versions include Licorice Logs (Milk Chocolate), Licorice Logs (Dark Chocolate), Raspberry Licorice Logs (White), and Raspberry Licorice Logs (Milk Chocolate). We even offer extra large versions, with our Jumbo Licorice Logs (Dark Choc) and Jumbo Licorice Logs (Milk Choc).

These logs come in gift bags for when you want to share the licorice love around (Licorice Logs (Milk Chocolate) Gift Bag 380g & Licorice Logs (Dark Chocolate) Gift Bag 380g).

Licorice Sticks

A longer version of our Licorice Logs, our Licorice sticks come in a three pack of yummy chocolate-covered licorice, in  Milk and Dark versions. One log makes for a perfect afternoon pick me up, or a divine after dinner snack!

Red licorice

Red licorice offers the same chewy consistency as dark licorice, but doesn’t have the same anise flavour. Instead, it’s flavoured with things like raspberry, cherry or strawberry, and coloured red. So if you don’t enjoy the traditional black licorice flavour, then red licorice is for you. With red licorice, you don’t need to miss out on those classic licorice chocolate treats, like the Chocolate Box’s  Raspberry Licorice Logs (Milk Chocolate) and Raspberry Licorice Logs (White).

Classic Licorice Molasses (Made in Australia)

Some of us don’t want to mix our licorice with chocolate, in which case, our bags of old fashioned, chunky black Licorice Molasses is the perfect solution. Tear open the paper bag and get chewing on these thick strips of licorice, featuring fine quality ingredients and no artificial flavours.

Aniseed Rings

Aniseed has such a similar taste to licorice that licorice lovers tend to be aniseed fans too. Aniseed jellies have the same jelly texture as a black jelly bean, so are a little lighter and stickier than licorice. Our Aniseed Rings feature premium chocolate. Versions include Aniseed Rings (Milk), Aniseed Rings (Dark), Aniseed Rings (Milk Chocolate) Gift Bag 300g, & Aniseed Rings (Dark Chocolate) Gift Bag 300g.

Dutch Licorice

This Dutch favourite offers something truly unique for licorice connoisseurs. Made in the Netherlands, our Dutch Licorice is a chewy treat with a salty licorice taste, and is considered more savoury than sweet – an acquired taste. This one comes in Single Salt (8%) and Double Salt (14%) versions.

Box of Licorice Treats

Our Licorice Lover Box includes a mix of licorice themed treats that are certain to appeal to licorice fans. The handsomely-presented special edition gift box includes White Chocolate Raspberry Licorice Bullets, Licorice Allsorts, Milk Chocolate Licorice Bullets, Dark Licorice Stick 3-Pack & Molasses Licorice.

What is licorice exactly?

We’ve known and seen this black chewy sweet around all our lives, but many of us don’t know much about where licorice comes from. Well, that delicious aromatic licorice flavour is extracted from the root of a perennial legume called the Glycyrrhiza glabra, a plant native to North Africa, Western Asia and Southern Europe. The Greek name “glykiá ríza” actually means “sweet root”, and licorice root is inherently sweet. It is said to be over 50 times sweeter than sucrose (white table sugar)!

Licorice has long been used to flavour a range of products including drinks, confectionery and medicines. These days, many licorice-flavoured sweets are reinforced with aniseed oil, which has a similar flavour to licorice, and decreases the need to use so much licorice extract.

Is licorice good for you?

Licorice has long been used as a flavouring in medicines, and in some places, people even chew on the licorice root as a way of freshening their breath! In some traditional medicines, licorice has been used to treat viral infections, digestive problems, and a range of other conditions.
