Barkleys Black Licorice Candy, Licorice Pellets - Gluten Free Licorice, Vegan- Black Licorice Intense (1 Can x 16 gr.)

These are definitely the other type of licorice flavor, i.e. the flavor is not totally similar to Barkleys licorice pastilles, which are more like Brach's jelly beans in taste. These are on the verge of being almost, almost bitter, but they're not quite. I'd say, sure, it's "pure" licorice flavor. These last a while in your mouth, so there's plenty of enjoyment to be had in this small tin.

I used to love these type of licorice candy. It's very good if you wanna quit smoking or just to have that nice black licorice taste in your mouth.These however do not taste anything like licorice at all. The best way I can come up with explaining what it tastes like is something burnt beyond recognition and all you taste is the burn.

I think all the bad reviews are from people who don't actually LIKE black licorice, they like sugar. These are great for me because I like it all. Sweet black licorice, not sweet, all of it.

This product description says INTENSE FLAVOR. This description hits the nail directly on the head. This is the most overwhelming INTENSE licorice flavor i have ever experienced. This might work for cooking or baking as a flavor or candy making bit for me it does not work for what i thought it is. For me, it is not candy. The flavor is so strong it is over whelming. I can see this being used in baking or candy making.

I was looking for Sen Sens, no longer manufactured. This was the suggestion. It is STRONG unsweetened licorice. Not for everyone. I'm still deciding. Well made and nicely packaged.

They’re OK licorice flavor isn’t really all there

my second purchase. dryish on the palate, and quite delish.

Item came in a beautiful tin case, similar in style to Altoids package but the size of a tic tac case , but the candy themselves were very small and very better not sweet like a candy would be. I was not able to keep it in my mouth for more than 10 seconds. Please note that this item is not refundable so if you don’t like it, you’re out of luck, buyer beware.

Tasty mints. I would buy them again

Really good natural liquorice flavour, slightly sweet and no bitterness. Not as intense as I expected, just the same liquorice flavour I remember from my childhood but without the awful excess of sugar. I can easily manage 2 or 3 at a time but mindful that large amounts are not recommended try to stick to just one. Really tiny so even though small tin it is lasting really well, so overall very good value too.

fantastique, très semblable aux cachous. Exactement la saveur intense de réglisse

Saw these and realised they looked just like the "Imps" we used to get in tiny tins as kids. Used to love those, so had to give this product a try. Bigger tin than Imps and although 6grams doesn't sound like much there are lots of "pellets" in the tin. No I haven't counted them, but lots. Taste just as I remember Imps. Have to say they are probably an aquired taste. They are not sweets, you don't scoff them by the handful. Proper liquorice extract based and quite bitter for that, but that's what I love. Pop one on your tongue and just let it dissolve. Wonderful, and I find two or three a day ample. So glad I found these. I will be getting more.

I love liquorice at any time, but I was after pure liquorice to help with my GERD. I don't know if this will do it. Time will tell.The flavour is all consuming. Don't have one before food or a cup of tea unless you enjoy everything tasting oddly sweet and killing the flavour of everything else. The flavour lingers for quite a while and distorts the flavours of anything you consume afterwards. That said, given the price that's good because they'll last a good while.If you're after a traditional candy/sweet style liquorice with a 'regular' sweet liquorice flavour this won't do it for you. These are tiny little pure licuorice pellets. But otherwise it's a good and strong flavour and also has the added benefit of supressing hunger pangs I've noticed...which may or may not be of use to you.
