I have a great recipe for it: melt a bag of candy corn in the microwave, add peanut butter until it's mixed, let it cool then pour melted chocolate over it. It tastes exactly like a Butterfinger's!
So, black licorice is actual licorice plus a little sugar, and red licorice is a lot of sugar with barely any licorice flavor. It's cool that you don't like it, because I love it...send it all to me!
