Crows are a licorice candy similar in shape and texture to Dots.
History
Crows were invented in the 1890s by confectioners Ernest Von Au and Joseph Maison. The Black Crows trademark was registered in 1911[1]. Originally, Crows were to be called "Black Rose," but the printer misheard the name as "Black Crows" and printed wrappers with the wrong name on them[2]. In 1972, Tootsie Roll Industries acquired the Crows brand by purchasing the Mason Division of Candy Corporation of America.
Trivia
Crows are not really black, but an extremely dark green.
