One of the most popular flavors year after year, our black Licorice stays true to the classic anisette style. Ancient Chinese first used licorice for medical purposes, the English used it in candy and Jelly Belly perfected it in a jelly bean. Those who typically *like* licorice almost always *love* our version for its robust flavor. Of course, it also helps that our beans are easy to take with you and the resealable bag means that you can keep your stash fresher for longer. Licorice is a perennial favorite and its fans cannot get enough. When giving this as a gift, be sure to buy extra, as lovers of this flavor are not likely to share. We have shown the glossy black color of these beans as well as we can, but your video and/or monitor settings will affect the color you see. All Jelly Belly jelly beans are OU Kosher. Gluten free, peanut free, dairy free, fat free and vegetarian friendly.
