I went to a craft fair recently in Baraboo, WI. I saw the tent labeled 'The Licorice Guy' and had to stop since I am a huge Red Vines licorice fan. I purchased six bags in different flavors and now am resorting to purchasing online. The Licorice Guy brand blows Red Vines and Twizzlers out of the water by far! I do prefer gourmet brands, but do not splurge that often on those. This is my new favorite brand! I can't wait to attend more craft fairs in my area where there will be another display. I'll be sure to bring along my huge shopping bag for transport. My two favorite flavors are blue raspberry and grape. If you have not tried this brand, do not wait! You will not be disappointed.
