SweetGourmet Finnska Sugar Free Soft Black Licorice Candy | 1 pound

I love everything from Sweet Gourmet! This black licorice is fresh, perfectly textured, and tastes absolutely amazing (especially for a sugar free product). At about 11 calories a piece, it’s a diabetic bargain as well.

Very high quality black licorice and taste very good even for sugar free candy.

This licorice product is good....soft, not sticky and hasa decent flavor of licorice. But I believe it doesn't haveenough licorice flavor compared to some other productson the market. And I thought it was rather pricey....perhapsthe flavor issue and the price are both the result of ithaving no sugar added, which was a primary reason forthis purchaae.

I have been diabetic since 1993, and this sugar-free licorice is the best I have found. The flavor reminds me of the licorice I bought as a child for a nickel. The cost for the one-pound bag seemed reasonable to me. The package I got was fresh, the candy was soft, and there was no crumbling.Notes:1. As with all foods, whether these are good is a matter of personal taste. While other reviewers found it too strong, I really liked the licorice flavor.2. These are repackaged, and the nutrition label is unreadable.3. Do not eat too much. Malitol is the principal ingredient. Malitol is a sugar alcohol, and there are issues with gas or a laxative effect if you eat too much. Each person's tolerance to sugar alcohols vary, so start with a few pieces and work your way up. There are fewer problems for me if I do not eat these on an empty stomach.4. As with all foods, the glycemic effect for each person is different. For diabetics, I recommend comparing your blood-sugar levels on days that you do and do not eat this. Eating a few pieces each day has no noticeable impact on my blood-sugar levels.

This licorice is ok, but it doesn't taste as good as others, unfortunately. They need to rethink the recipe they use. NEEDS MORE FLAVOR!! The texture is good, soft, chewy but lacks that STRONG anise taste.

I know it has sugar alcohols but if you are trying to cut back on sugar but you still have a hankering for licorice…buy this. Both my husband and I love it.

This is THE BEST black licorice I've ever eaten! Just wow! Super fresh, maybe even a bit too fresh? I *try to* let mine lay exposed to the air a few days so they are slightly harder and less sticky and have more of a pastille-like texture. They are pretty big, so I've started cutting them in half to make them last a bit longer. The fact that they're sugar free is pretty awesome too! My only gripe is that it's a bit expensive for me to have as an every day treat, but as long as they're available here, I'll keep buying them!I so far have tried the Australian style that is popular in the US, and actually found them more disgusting than the plasticy Twizzlers! They're so huge they dwarf the Finnska licorice, too! I can't explain it, but it's like I can taste the wheat in the Wiley Wallaby and Panda brand licorice. YUCK!

no discernable taste - also not softa real disappointment and waste of money
