LAKRIDS BY BÜLOW - B - Passion Fruit - 10.4 oz - Chocolate Coated Gourmet Licorice - Authentic Scandinavian Candy Produced in Denmark

Lakrids are dreamy. A superior confection. The black licorice is delicious and has a perfect texture chewy with a bit of bite. (They call it “sweet” licorice because in many parts of Europe, as in Denmark, licorice can typically be salted. I find salted licorice revolting. The way licorice typically comes in Italy on the other hand is laced with mint.) Lakrids are coated in a smooth dreamy delicious chocolate wrapped in a thin delicate coating; not as thick or indelicate as that on M&Ms but its own “Lakrid” candy coating. It’s this candy coating which contains the varied flavors such as sour apple, strawberry, pink, pineapple, passionfruit, mango, etc. - . I wish they weren’t so delicious because I wouldn’t want them as often. The price is high of course they’re imported…truly a delicacy from Denmark. The company, founded in 2007 by Johan Bülow, specializes in creating luxury, gourmet licorice and chocolate (check their website ). Many flavors strawberry white chocolate and licorice, lemon, peach, mango, chocolate toffee crunch, dark and light milk, chocolate, and all kinds of combos… and including seasonal flavors. Pictured is the small jar of Passionfruit. The aroma alone when lift the paper seal is dreamy.

My first exposure to Lakrids by Bülow liquorice was when I visited Denmark with my Danish mother. We were at the airport and Lakrids had a little stand with samples of their various flavors. I immediately gravitated to the passion fruit because hey, it’s passion fruit and their liquorice was utterly delicious. I bought the large jar and I found it incredibly difficult to eat just 1 or 2 pieces of candy. The flavor of this liquorice is utter worldly.. If there was a numerical rating for candies this candy would receive the highest mark that is possible. Trust me when I say that this liquorice is a work of art. The different flavors of Lakrids that I have tried all have a depth of flavor that you do not find here in the states. I have tried 5 or 6 different flavors and each one has been incredible. You seriously shouldn’t hesitate in buying their candy, it is quite wonderful.

Unusual licorice flavors from this company so far this is the best very juicy fruit coating and well matched licorice inside. Very delicious!

The Passionfruit and Peach are really delicious! The Raspberry is good. The Mango Vanilla is surprisingly just OK. It's more vanilla than Mango. I don't even know if I can say I tasted Mango. But it's still okay! But the good ones are the passionfruit and Peach. Delicious! But then again, I love black licorice flavors!

I purchased these for my man and was hesitant to try them for myself, but did. THEY ARE AMAZING! Seriously the best chocolate licorice (who even knew that was a thing) I have ever tasted and am hooked. I really think this is the best treat you can have if you aren’t really a sweets kind of person. The chocolate and licorice work really well together. They are worth the price and once you have one, you’ll definitely be buying more.EDIT: I have now repurchased these 5 times. If you are the the fence with getting them, just buy them. They are worth the cost. The only downside is you will become addicted, but some things in life are worth being addicted to!

Do look at the weight. I didn't, and was surprised at the small container for the price. It was delicious. A little different-I think- because the scandinavian licorice contains 'salmiak.'

Unique food item.Not worth the price.Nothing special.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I like that type of licorice. And it's one of the few gluten free licorice available.
