BlackJack is a licorice (actually anise) flavored chew that's made in the shape of little square pieces that are sold in a roll. Instead it's slightly lemony (citric acid is in the ingredients), with a tart bite and not much of a licorice flavor to it.

Black Jack was the Jack of Spades or Clubs. Essentially, the objective was to get the “Black Jack.” Thus, the origin of the name blackjack can be traced back to the USA gambling establishments that featured bonus payouts aimed at promoting this game.Oct 1, 2020
Are Black Jacks still called Black Jacks?
By the late 1980s (yes, that recently amazingly) manufacturers Trebor quite rightly scrapped that Black Jacks logo as it was racially offensive, replaced the logo with an image of a pirate with a black beard and eye patch and re branded the sweets as Black Jack.
What are Black Jack sweets called now?
In 2008, a confectionery company called Tangerine bought out Trebor and decided to change the design once more to the current plain black with red writing. now the swirly black and white packaging we all remember is gone forever, although they still taste the same. hooray!
