Ahlgrens Bilar ORIGINAL Swedish Chewy Candy Sweets Bag 125g.

Perfect Swedish treat

This is an interesting candy, and the US doesn't make anything quite like it. If you've ever eaten gummies where one part was gummy and the other part was sort of foamy and white, the foamy part is similar to the texture of this candy. Bilar is slightly firmer, though. It's stretchy and doesn't break apart easily. The taste varies slightly between colors, and the white ones left a very very slight burning/tingling sensation in my mouth after eating them. I'm not sure what that was. The pink and green pieces did not. In terms of flavor, Bilar has notes of black licorice and circus peanuts (the orange smushy candy shaped like peanuts). It's a very light fruity flavor, but there's something more that I can't quite place. It's very good. My candy arrived fresh and in a reasonable amount of time given that it was coming from another country. My only complaint is that you can't order a 5 or 10 pack that's a bit more reasonably priced for what you're getting. Still - 20 years ago, this would have been virtually impossible to get in the US without a friend in Europe.

Worked well, great purchase.

Mine came so hard and dry I was very disappointed. They are usually soft and airy.

I love these. These are a Swedish must candy wise.

They have an odd unexpected flavor which is very sweet and sort of minty? They are super gummy and not soft and are really hard to stretch or rip and take a while to chew. I can see how some people might really love these though and I’m still gonna devour them because I spent money for them. (They definitely don’t taste stale like some people said I think this is just their texture) 👅

I used to buy this every time I'd visit by best friend in Sweden. She grew up eating it and introduced my kids to it when they were young and they fell in love with it. It used to be sold at IKEA but sadly they stopped selling it. I don't get to Sweden as much as I used to and my son really wanted this for his birthday (he's 20 now - so 14 years he's been eating these). Thankfully, this seller is offering them here and I was able to get him some, he was so happy! They're natural flavored/colored, not messy, sort of the consistency of circus peanuts candy, but have natural fruit flavors (the pink is faintly cherry, the yellow slightly lemon, the green slightly lime), very mild but tasty. They do go stale quickly, so you'll want to eat them as soon as you open them.

My granddaughter loves these!
