I'm confused but I think it corresponds to what we called in my
Limburgish (from Vliermaal): krieskoek.
I had no idea where the "kries" is coming from.
I remember it in both hard and soft form.
When soft we called "stattele (Dutch: schoenveters"; shoelace,
shoestring) since it had about that form.
It was black but dark brown when dissolved in water.

One also could buy sweet wood to chew, but I never associated that with
our black krieskoek, and I'm not sure there is any link.
 I checked in some West-Limburgish dictionaries (quotes abbreviated):

- 1 - André Stevens (Tongeren)

krïskoek
...  1. drophout, zoethout (glycyrrhiza glabra);
..2. (zwarte) bolhoed (spotn. en bijn.)
... z.o.o. kalïshòut, klïshòut
- mèt krïskoek mökdë dë kéndër kriskoekwô'tter
- nau dat zjië oerrë krïskoek hèt, gó'n ich éns vryùge mèt wôo rêech as
dë héer zich mèt mën hüu bëmoeit
Et. Lat. liquiritia > Lakritse (Du.) > krits > kris met toevoeging van
koek

krïskoekhòut
... drophout

krïskoeksênt
... nagebootst centje van drophout

krïskoekwô'ttër
... dropwater, dropsap

- 2  - Castermans e.a. (Diepenbeek)

kriessap
  drop

kriessapmenneke
  zwart dropje
  syn.: kriesmenneke

kriessapstek
  zoethout

- 3 - Oris (Kortessem)

krissap
  kalissesap

  ne krissapstek vör op te knabbele of te zabbere ('n stokje zoethout om
op te bijten of te zuigen)

  ne bedoung krissapwetter vör met nö sjoöl te neme (een drinkbus met
kalissewater om mee naar school te nemen)

  ve kouchte bè Djan van Djors zoe ne zwatte krissapstek en houde duù
stùkskes van oòf, déi ve inne tuit deune, nóu goed sjudde tot den drank
vjadig wes (we kochten in de winkel bij Jeanne Moors, aan de kerk, 'n
zwarte kalissestok (zoete drop), sloegen er stukjes af, die in de
drinkbus gedaan werden; nu moest er goed geschud worden tot ze opgelost
waren)

  men zegt ook klissap - klissapwetter
