Do you have a favorite "candy you ate as a kid" story? Share it here.

As a child we lived in a poor neighborhood but it had a candy store on every other street back when candy shoe laces were 2 for a penny. They use to have what was called surprise bags for a nickel. Anyway I was always glad when I got the laces in my bag. What I would do was save my laces until I had at least 100 then I would braid it like it was hair and connect them all together and slowly eat them.

I use to make really cool hairdos out of the candy pony tails, buns, shignons bangs, you name it it was like hair me when every I would see someone with a nice bun or pigtails I would crave the candy laces and would do anything to get them.

That is why I'm sooooo glad I found your website so that I can now order that I can get. My sister to this day calls every once in a while to tell me she found some in some store here or there they are so hard to find the (real ones) I forget the company name who made them I can't remember if it was Heide or something. Anyway I'm now a very successful photographer and I still love my shoe laces. I'm glad I can order them now finally... yours thankfully. ~ Dawnita from Virginia

Average Rating   View All Reviews Licorice Laces Strawberry   Excellent! Very yummy.   Reviewed by:  Jean Berner from Pleasant Hill, Ca.. on 1/11/2012 Awesome Product   Nice and fresh. I have been ordering 3 bags a month and will continue to do so because they are my favorite. Ive been looking for these for a long time and everytime I had gotten them they were the dark red ones that were stale, sticky, and hard. They weren't these ones and I couldn't be happier.   Reviewed by:  Ken Bonal from New York. on 11/21/2011 Licorice Laces   I haven't actually eaten any of the licorice yet (it it for VBS) but it shipped very quickly. Thank you.   Reviewed by:  Kelley J Kaufmann from Okinawa, Japan. on 6/19/2011 My husband's favorite!   Licorice laces are impossible to find anywhere locally. I was so thrilled to find them at Old Time candy. They are my husband's favorite, and I make sure he always has some in his Christmas stocking. This year he's also getting some for Father's Day! They are always fresh and delicious when they arrive, and he has great fun sharing them (only a nibble!) with our wire fox terriers! Thanks for being my go-to resource!   Reviewed by:  Jill Murphy from Cincinnati, Ohio. on 6/18/2011 Strawberry Laces   I remember eating strawberry laces as a child & I could only get them at the mall.I looked forward to shopping with my mom because I knew after a long day she would allow me to get my favorite candy. I was disappointed because the candy store weighed the laces which was expensive & disappointed when the franchise closed. It's been decades since I've had the pleasure of chewing licorice laces like it's spagetti until I can across Old Time Candy.Thank you for bringing back my childhood memories.   Reviewed by:  Monique from New York. on 5/23/2011
