Australian Liquorice
Australian liquorice is a good example of a candy that differs slightly from the licorice made in the United States. Australian liquorice differs in appearance, texture and flavor. Rather than being long and slender like licorice strings, Australian licorice comes in solid pieces. Some people would say the pieces are bite-size while others find the candy easier to eat when the pieces are cut in half. The pieces have distinctive ridges and there’s just a slight twist to each piece. Instead of having a hollow center, Australian licorice has a solid, soft, chewy center. Australian licorice has a distinctive licorice flavor derived from licorice extract and aniseed oil. The pieces also have a hint of a smoky, earthy flavor that comes from the combination of wheat flour and molasses that are used to make Australian licorice. The overall flavor of Australian liquorice is richer than other types of licorice.
Red and Black Licorice
Red and black licorice have a soft chewy texture. Both types of candy are cholesterol free, nearly sodium free and almost fat-free. In a serving size of 11 pieces of either the red or black licorice, there are 140 or 120 calories, respectively. There’s approximately 30g of carbohydrate in this chewy candy.
