Soft Licorice was invented in 1963 by Douglas Belcher "The Licorice King" in Melbourne, Victoria. Douglas Belcher was the Managing Director of T.E. Belcher which owned two confectionary companies "Kandyland Pty Ltd" & "Belmonte".

Soft Licorice was created when a batch of licorice all sorts fell in to a regular batch of licorice in production. Much to Douglas's surprise, the end product was "Soft Licorice".

The recipe for Soft Licorice was sold to Monty Lea of well known company "Darrel Lea" in 1965.
