A New Addiction

Darrell Lea's chocolate-covered licorice is possibly the most addictive thing since crystal meth. About as good for your teeth, too.

This sinful little confection from the land down under features a thick rope of strawberry flavored "liquorice" as the Aussies spell it. A thin, crackly dark-chocolate coating smothers the licorice hunk.

Each two-bite piece bite is chewy, sweet and creamy from the chocolate. It's a little drop of heaven, I tell ya.

You can pick up a package at Cost Plus World Market for $2.99. Go on — do it. All the cool kids are doing it.

And, I'll see ya in the 12-step program next week.
