Simpkins Nipits- Pure Liquorice Pellets

Excellent product, gone already.

Just as they should be just a different shape to when was a child but taste just as good as I remember

Very good.

I have become a little bit of a fan of liquorice of late and I wanted to try something more authentic and less sweet and masked with aniseed. Given the strong flavour I guessed that reviews were going to be somewhat polar. I couldn’t decide which ones to try, so I opted for 3 of the seemingly more popular ones and settled for:Liquirizia 100g - £9.90 – Largest pack, largest pelletsLiquorice Amarelli 40g £8.25 – Medium pack, medium pelletsSimpkins Nipits 12g £4.99 – Smallest pack, smallest pelletsAll are 100% liquorice and all are hard pellets. For me there was not a lot of difference between Liquirizia and Amarelli in terms of taste. Both were strong and the flavour came out very soon after entering the mouth. The Nipits were a weaker in flavour and the taste was slower to come though and by the time it did, it was gone.The winner for me based on taste was both Liquirizia and Amarelli with value for money putting Liquirizia in first place. I am afraid that Nipits were overly expensive for something that had little taste and resembled mouse droppings.If you are looking for a strong liquorice, then you might want to try others, if you don't want a full hit, then you might be happier with these….just be careful how many you eat per day, especially if over 40. Check the NHS website for liquorice warnings and a safe level to eat.

Used for a Nigella recipe- bought 2 because just under the weight needed. All worked well though and would buy again.

I have had these for years, now either this is a dud batch or , they have changed the way they make this. These used to be small square liquorice that blew your head off, great for colds,AND for singing, and being in 2 choirs, I used them frequently. This is small round pellets, which again , is fine, however, they crunch like either pencil lead, or charcoal consistency its the only thing I can describe and then absolutely NO FLAVOUR!! POINTLESS!! I had about 8 incase it was just me. Then another choir singer also tried one and she agreed!! They ARE in date, i just don't know what they've changed but I wont be buying again. These are definitely NOT like the imps or nigroids I used to buy of old. Adly i cannot leave 0 stars Don't waste your money!!

Very nice brought me back to my childhood

Not nice at all..The tin was lovely though
