The taste was a rich licorice one with sweet not salty and not bitter or pungent.

I have been looking around on the net trying to find the exact licorice I used to have as a child. I am unsure what to look for because most of the names are in Dutch. I used to get it up through the 1950's from a candy shop in Vicksburg, Michigan and also at the candy counter at Woolworth's in Kalamazoo, Michigan before they closed the store there. It was round on the bottom about the size of a nickel or a tad bigger. It then rounded up like a little bowl on that base and on the center of the top was a "W". The taste was a rich licorice one with sweet not salty and not bitter or pungent. It was hard and would stick to your teeth if you attempted to bite it. I yearn to have that candy once more. Anyone know what I am referring to and if it still is obtainable. If so I would be most appreciative in getting that information. Maybe you or your readers can help find this lost in my past but not in my memory item.

Thank you, Donna Schmidtke
