If you tend to keep your hands off licorice until Halloween rolls around, why not enjoy it on the regular? Today’s licorice offerings don’t come in an oversized tub, but resealable bags filled with more wholesome ingredients like fresh fruit purée, molasses, and more. Is it still candy? You bet, but it’s a better choice than what you grew up noshing on.
