Trader Joe's is here to introduce you to your newest candy obsession: Trio of Soft Licorice Twists.
Historically popular among candy fans in Australia and New Zealand, it was not until the 1950s that licorice gained prominence stateside. Now, Trader Joe's is capitalizing on the licorice love with its new Trio of Soft Licorice Twists. This new product consists of soft and chewy licorice in three deliciously fruity flavors: raspberry, mango, and green apple. The delicious mix of flavors makes this treat a fun snacking experience that's perfect for the movie theater, school lunches, or a commute. As the brand puts it, "We find that its complementary mix of flavors strikes a nice balance of consistency and variety: just enough of each to keep every bite interesting."
