Black Knight Licorice Twist 40g

Black Knight Licorice Twist 40g

Black Knight Licorice Twist 40g is the classic New Zealand black licorice bar from RJ’s, made the traditional way with real licorice root extract. Each 40g pack holds two soft, chewy twists, so it is the perfect pocket-sized serve for anyone who wants proper licorice flavour without opening a big bag. If you grew up on Kiwi licorice, this is the one you remember.

At SweetsWorld we stock it alongside our full range of licorice in Australia, from Aussie soft-eating favourites to salty Dutch drop. The Black Knight Licorice Twist is the pick for people who want a straight, honest black licorice with a firm bite and a deep aniseed finish.

What makes Black Knight Licorice Twist different

• Real licorice root – flavoured with genuine licorice root extract and aniseed oil, not just colour and sugar.
• Two twists per pack – a single 40g pack gives you two serves, handy for lunchboxes, glove boxes and desk drawers.
• Palm oil free and nut free – made with rice bran oil, so it suits nut-allergy households.
• Made in New Zealand – produced by RJ’s, the Halliwell family licorice makers who have kept the Black Knight brand going for generations.
• Old-fashioned recipe – wheat flour, molasses and treacle give it that dense, dark, traditional texture.

Taste and texture

Black Knight is a firmer style of black licorice than the very soft Australian bars. Bite into a twist and you get a clean snap on the outside, then a dense chew that slowly releases molasses, treacle and a warm aniseed note. It is not salty like Dutch licorice and not sugary-soft like a strawberry rope. It sits right in the middle, which is why so many licorice lovers call Black Knight their everyday licorice.

Because each twist is a proper serve, the 40g pack is ideal when you want a licorice hit but do not want to commit to a 250g bag. If you do want more, the Black Knight Medley 500g gives you the full RJ’s line-up in one box.

How to enjoy Black Knight Licorice Twist

Eat it straight from the pack, or chop a twist into pieces and stir it through vanilla ice cream for an easy licorice sundae. It also works well on a lolly platter next to Inch Licorice Block, Darrell Lea Batch 37 and a metre of Fyna licorice, so guests can compare NZ, Aussie and old-school styles side by side.
