Where do you get the Aussie type? Can you order it online? Thank you. It's something how some foods or smells remind me of times with her.

Does Australia make and export licorice? That's a new one to me if that is so.

@JudyEv I read they sell them in the special shops but most buy from Amazon or other online retailer.

Sorry, I never acquired a taste for either, nor jelly beans.

A few people I know prefer the Jelly Bellys which taste so much different.

I like red, chocolate and black licorice. I never remember it melting but it just might if it was left in a hot car or something. This is a good question. I look forward to all your answers.

@noni1959 why would you melt it? We eat it right out if the package. We get it either in long strips or very thin rolled up or small squares. Anyway we eat it as is.

@ramapo17 I eat it out of the package too. I was talking about if I made my own black chocolate licorice peanut brittle.

I never had chocolate licorice. I'll have to find some. I'm thinking of buying some to melt in a double boiler and see how it goes.

@JudyEv I have been eating it since a young kid and that was a very young girl. Over 60 years ago.

I think it's something if we've had from a young age we continue to enjoy.

@noni1959 That's probably right. We never had it as kids. We never had chewing gum either and I never developed a taste for that.

@shubhu3 I'm not sure how to describe it. It leaves a bit of a cool feeling in my mouth but trying to think of what it's similar to.

So does my son. He was telling me to try to make something with red. I wonder if a white chocolate would work.

I have never liked black licorice but I love the red cherry licorice. I like all of the jelly beans except the black ones. They taste bad.

I do not like licorice at all. It's hard to find here now, due to the health issue warning. Black licorice contains, a sweetening compound, that is found in its root, that affects potassium levels in the body. Eating black licorice causes the potassium level to fall to dangerous low levels. It also causes high blood pressure, and heart issues. The doctor suggested to my husband to eat a piece when his blood pressure drops.

@noni1959 My blood pressure is also very low all the time. It's hard to find licorice here in Europe now, only pharmacists can sell it.

I read about this way back in my teens but if eaten in moderation and not a lot, it won't hurt. Kind of like eating red meat. You eat too much you can get colon cancer, clogged arteries, etc. My blood pressure is always very low due to my heart condition and I have a pace maker. I don't eat it often but sure enjoy it when I do.
