licorice sticks

Chewy dark sweets

Licorice sticks are dried roots of the licorice plant, chewed for their naturally sweet flavor.

The term also refers to stick-shaped black licorice candy.

In jazz slang, a licorice stick is a clarinet—black, cylindrical, and held like a stick of candy: Benny Goodman was a master of the licorice stick.
