licorice whips

Twisted rope sweets

Licorice whips are long, thin ropes of licorice candy, typically twisted or braided.

They're flexible enough to snap like a whip, which appeals to children who play with them before eating.

The classic version is black licorice, though red and other fruit-flavored varieties are common: She peeled strands off her licorice whip.
