Does anyone eat licorice? If so what brand? I've been eating red vines but, I use to eat chocolate licorice all the time. Just wondering if anyone eat's it now and if it agrees with your tummy. It has 1.5 grams of fat per serving.
Thanks!

ok here's all the info...
Twizzlers Chocolate twists
serving size 5 pieces calories 160 calories from fat 15 total fat 1.5 grams
Ingredients: Corn syrup, Wheat flour, Sugar, Cornstarch, Contains 2% or less of: Chocolate: Cocoa, Partially Hydrogenated soybean Oil, Artifical flavor; Potassium sorbate (preservative) And artifical color.
OK so I'm thinking it might not be to great!! Artifical...and hydrogenated oil.
What does everyone else think?
Thanks!

Hey, that's only 8% fat, Girlfriend! BUT -- can you eat just FIVE?
The hydrogenated stuff is pretty far down the list, I'd GOFERIT.

Licorice is made from mostly fructose so if you have any problems with fructose I would advise against eating it, especially in larger doses. I had to give it up. Many people with IBS have fructose intolerance.

Hi STEPHS; I never heard of chocolate licorice, but I love the strawberry licorice.
