Licorice.com | Licorice Candy | Soft & Chewy Red Licorice | Australian Red Twists & Finnish Bites | Fruity & Tangy Strawberry Flavor | Ideal gift for 4th July | Pack of 2

I hate sour candies in general, but these are AMAZING. Seriously delicious and addictive.

I finally received the licorice after it was delayed. OMG! This is the WORST licorice., it's just plain awful! Besides it being rock hard it doesn't have a very pleasant red licorice flavor. The only way I could taste it is by sucking on it like a hard candy. How very disappointing. Don't know if I can get my money back or not, but my suggestion to anyone is to NOT BUY!

Okay, lets start with appearance; the bottoms of each container are marked either Red or Black, the tops however only state Red. Guess they ran out of Black lids. After opening the tubes, after all they are tubes with tube tops, anyway, they are cut into nice sized pieces. The red are Red, the Black are brown. Now, taste, I remember black licorice (haven't had black licorice in a very long time) as being very hard to accept based on the harsh flavor. I have just gone with red licorice all these years. But, I decided to try black licorice again. Couldn't find any in any stores so went to Amazon. I didn't want the standard chemical factory brew, wanted something as close to a true licorice. So I found these and decided to give them a try. The Red is supposed to be Strawberry. Okay, there is a sort of artificial berry taste, strawberry, okay, it isn't bad, just not as pronounced as I was expecting. Now, the Black, which I was preparing myself for was actually mild. It is quite pleasant to consumer, nothing like the bitter black licorice I remember from the stone age era. I like them both. Not sure how long they will stay fresh in the tubes they come in since the tubes don't actually seal them. If you consume candies rather quickly then that is not going to be an issue, but I eat maybe one or two pieces a day if that so I may have to put them into sealable container to keep them from drying out and getting hard. I do like them though.

Best licorice ever

This is an update to my earlier review of this licorice based on the product I received. That review describes the product as hard and without flavor, well below my expectations. This review is based on my experience with the G.O.A.T. customer service. After I posted my feedback I received a message from the seller, who apologized for the poor quality of the licorice I received and offered a full refund, which I have already received. They also offered to send me a sample of a different product. Because of my positive experience with the company I will likely order a product myself to give them another chance.

I’ve had licorice.com licorice before, but these ones are already stale and are hard to eat. They don’t feel fresh. It is sad because there is a whole pound of each and by the time we finish them they’ll be even harder than they started. Not happy with this purchase and they do not live up to my previous experiences.

I've ordered the Australian Red & Black combo twice. The first batch was semi-soft, and the flavor was very good, better than anything I could find in the store. The most recent batch was much, much tougher -- almost a plastic quality. The flavor was still good but not as good...something was lost with the plastic texture. I don't know if the problem was caused by the age of the candy, or the temperature at which it was stored, or some other factor. Not sure I want to risk it again for the price. On a side note, the packaging was wrong both times I ordered (the black licorice was labeled Australian Red) but I did get one of each so it was no big deal.

Have ordered before,always arrives quickly,and excellent quality
