Snaps (Candy)

Snaps are a popular type of candy that originated in the United States. They are known for their distinctive licorice flavor and colorful, sugar-coated shells. Snaps are typically small, round, and come in a variety of colors, including red, yellow, green, and orange.

History

Snaps were first introduced in the early 20th century by the American Licorice Company. The company, which was founded in 1914, is also known for producing other popular candy brands such as Red Vines and Sour Punch.

Production

The production process of Snaps involves several steps. First, the licorice center is made by mixing licorice extract with sugar and other ingredients. This mixture is then shaped into small, round pieces. Next, these pieces are coated with a colorful, sugary shell. The candy is then allowed to dry before it is packaged and shipped to stores.

Popularity

Snaps have remained a popular candy choice for many years. They are often sold in movie theaters and are a favorite among children and adults alike. The candy's unique flavor and texture, combined with its colorful appearance, have helped it maintain its popularity over the years.

Varieties

In addition to the original licorice flavor, Snaps are also available in a variety of other flavors. These include cherry, strawberry, and watermelon. Each flavor has its own distinctive color, making Snaps a visually appealing as well as tasty treat.
