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.

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 thought there would be more sweetness to them. They are very flavorful, but very small.

Product is quality an as advertised

Good, but not a SenSen replacement. Other reviewers have said the same: very strong licorice flavor, small container (think a pocket box of wooden matches), fresh-tasting, slightly sweet, but I didn't get an unpleasant aftertaste. I happen to like them, but I can see how others might not like the strong licorice flavor.

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

I was looking for something similar to Sen Sen which they don't make anymore. This seemed to be the closest in comparison. Cutting to the chase, these black licorice pellets are the most horrid tasting anything I've ever ordered. I don't know how they can even appeal to hard-core black licorice fans. If you can imagine, they taste like a urinal deodorizer smells. I can't describe how awful these are. I literally had to eat breath mints after I tried a few just to get the foul taste out of my mouth. I'm grateful to Amazon for refunding my money for a product that I could not return.

Tasty mints. I would buy them again

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.

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

These are a required Taste, not really what I was expecting, I think these are the same as what I bought a lot of years ago and they were called Imps, they are tiny, you will have to try them even if it’s just for the experience, good value for your money

Taste so bitter, no licorice taste! Nor smell
