The VERY BEST licorice/gummy candy I've ever had is called Color-Rado. They are so good that I judge them in a tie to some candies from my current fave brand, See's Candy. These licorice/gummies/caramel candies were given to us by our son and daughter in law who live in Germany. The manufacturer is Bonn-based, Haribo.
I am super excited to hear of Haribo's plan to manufacture their Gummy Bears in Kenosha, Wisconsin in year 2020. Read the article below. I am hoping that someday they will consider adding Color-Rado to their line-up in the WI factory.

SWEET NEWS FROM GERMANY

Germany's iconic gummy bear will soon be "Made in USA."
Bonn-based Haribo, which invented the gummy bear nearly a century ago, said Friday it would open a U.S. factory in
Wisconsin in 2020.
Haribo, founded in 1920, has been in the U.S. since 1982 with a sales operation, and is already the top seller of gummy bears in the country, but says it wants to grow further.
Company head Hans Guido Riegel says "Haribo of America is the fastest growing confectionary company in the U.S.A., therefore the step of starting our own production there from 2020 is important for us."
The $242 million factory near Kenosha is expected to create 400 jobs. Haribo employs 7,000 people worldwide and produces 100 million gummy bears daily at 16 factories in ten countries.
