In some health food stores, they sell licorice sticks in the bulk herb section (like, the actual licorice sticks). Maybe you can dip it in honey or agave nectar and chew on that?

They tell people to chew these when they are trying to quit smoking.

I was thinking too that you could get whatever has that licorice flavor (fennel, anise, etc.), grind it up and add it to an apple puree or soaked and blended raisin puree...some kind of puree and make a fruit leather for the chewy-factor. Not sure, just tryin' to help :o

Oh Cherie -- after reading your suggestion, I had a flash of black applesauce. Guck! LOL I know it wouldn't actually look that way, but, in my imagination it did. What a picture. Gag.

I know you said it's not the same, but my DH mixes up

1 cup of walnuts
1/2 cup dates
Fennel

He loves that licorice flavor too. It works for him..
