National Licorice Day is celebrated each year on April 12.
This day was originated to celebrate black licorice, it’s history, health benefits and world renown. Black licorice can be enjoyed in licorice twists, stem shaped candies, licorice ropes, jelly beans, jewels and others.
Of course, the designation has evolved as people consign all types and flavors of licorice to celebrate the day.
Enjoy your favorite kind of licorice and use #NationalLicoriceDay to post on social media.
Licorice International founded National Licorice Day in 2004. For more information:
