Black candy (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

licorice

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">black candy</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for licorice that I've seen before include "US confectionery" , "American confection" , "Black or dark brown sweet (US spelling)" , "sweet in America" , "Sweetmeat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune and the Penny Press.
