Maybe I'm spelling it wrong? It was a dark red candy, square, and tasted like strong black licorice.

You are not spelling it wrong. It is sold mostly during the Christmas holidays and given to children from "St. Nicholas", however, I just happened to see it in the candy section at Marshalls in Minnesota. It appears that they are now making it for Valentine's Day and other holidays. You won't find this candy at most retailers, it is a specialty item. I think you will find it at Macy's and Herberger's though. Hope it helped a little bit, the candy is awesome!
