A few updates fellow Licorice Guy Licorice lovers!
We are only a few days away from announcing our event schedule. We are replacing two shows from last year and replacing them with two new locations. The rest are all returning events. We have also added one additional event that we’re super excited about in July. We only have one show planned for September, but we are considering at least one more. Stay tuned.

New flavors. TLG headquarters are tightly lipped on exact availability dates, but we are told they will be released soon. The first flavor we are very excited to try ourselves. The other we think will be a game changer, especially for certain groups of individuals. Can’t say any more than that right now, but we think both will be a success and nice additions to our current lineup.

We’re in the design phase of having a website. As our number of followers continues to grow, we would like to do some further marketing and connection with those who like TLG Licorice. We aren't big fans of Instagram or TikTok, so we believe a website is a better way to share our adventures with people who care. We’ll announce it when it goes live.

Please tell your family and friends about us, like and follow us on Facebook, and share our upcoming event schedule with other licorice lovers... Team Knapp Kin Inc. Mike, MJ, and Chris

Hello Fellow Licorice Guy Licorice Lovers!
In just a few short months, our 2026 selling season will begin! We are getting excited to hit the road and give back some licorice love to our past customers and introduce our gourmet licorice to wonderful new licorice connoisseurs like you all!
As of March 1, we have booked two new festivals and are waiting to hear back from three other events. Our fingers are crossed on whether these will work out. Since it is still early in the year, feel free to let us know of an event you think we might be a good fit for. We will research them and see if it is possible to put them on our schedule.
Finally, we have been told by The Licorice Guy headquarters that some exciting new additions are coming in 2026. We must keep them a secret for now, but we think they will be a huge hit, and we’ll be excited to let you sample and purchase them once we have them available.
In the meantime, think spring and before you know it, summer will be here! We’ll be speaking with everyone again very soon!
Team Knapp Kin: Mike, Mary Jane & Chris

MJ, Chris, and I want to thank all of you who visited our tent or booth, tried our licorice samples, and purchased from us what we believe is the best-tasting licorice available in the USA!

We're calling it a wrap for this year as we begin the fall and winter seasons. This is the time of year when we gather as a family during the holidays and enjoy being in each other's presence. We feel so blessed to have all of them in our lives.

We had a fantastic first year of sales with our The Licorice Guy distributorship and are looking forward to seeing you all again in 2026.

We plan to return to nearly all of our 2025 event locations and will be adding some additional ones in 2026. If you have an idea for an event that you think we should give some licorice love in, please let us know what the name of the event is, what city it is in, and the dates of the event. A lot of events start booking their vendors as soon as November, so we'd love to hear from you sooner rather than later. We'll check it out and see if it might work out.

While we won't be at an event until spring, we will still be here to keep you posted on everything licorice. KKI

When we first started The Licorice Guy, we noticed something about the licorice you’d find in most stores… it wasn’t really licorice.

It was packed with wax, fillers, and loads of sugar — leaving it tough, overly sweet, and lacking that rich, chewy flavor true licorice lovers crave.

We didn't like that product. So, we set out to do things differently. 💡

We decided on a promise: Every bag of our licorice is made in small batches, with less sugar, no wax, and no fillers - ever.

The result? Licorice that’s soft, fresh, and unforgettable. Just one bite, and you’ll Taste the Difference.

👉 That’s the Licorice Guy way.

Being a jacket or sweatshirt and stop by. We’ll be here Friday night all day Saturday giving licorice love. Stop by and sample some licorice and pick up a few bags! (BTW, it’s also MJ’s and Mike’s anniversary on Saturday. They have celebration plans at a later date! 😃)

The Licorice Guy is excited to bring our old fashioned licorice to you at the Burnsville Festival & Fire Muster. Look for our flags and tent in Civic Center Park from September 5-6, and be sure to stop by for free samples! Do you like traditional black, or fruity red? Maybe sour green apple or the nostalgia of root beer? We will have those flavors, and more, waiting for you! We will be there Friday 5PM-8PM and Saturday 11AM-8PM.
