Claeys Horehound Hard Candy, 6 oz (Pack of 3)

Wonderful to find such a high-quality rendition of a treat I completely loved in my childhood ... Every time I have one I'm transported back to my grandmother's tiny cabin, sitting around a potbelly stove, and listening to her stories of the old days ...

This candy harks back to my childhood, and actually tastes just like I remember -- some other brands on the market certainly don't. But truth be told, Claey's Horehounds are delightful every day, not just when I have a cough! Well done, indeed, and much appreciated!

I used to have these horehound lozanges as a child and had fond memories of them. They taste the same as I rememeber. I keep them in my medicine cabinet. I usually only have them when Im sick or have a sore throat, as they provide soothing throat relief. Also the sugar provides some calories and energy as I usually dont eat much when Im sick. They are better than any other throat lozenge out there.

Am very glad to know that this product is still very much available. The taste is very pleasant and soothing to a dry mouth or- just when one wants a little bit of something slightly sweet, without ruining a diet ! :) !

These candies are just that, candy coated with crystal sugar and a sweet hard core to melt in your mouth. The flavor is very mild, & a little disappointing compared to the horehound candy that my aunt used to give us kids for coughs or sore throats, which packed a wallop. Still, if you like this flavor, they are pretty good and do soothe the throat a bit when you get to the center. I am tempted to try melting a couple into a cup of hot tea, plain or spiced, instead of a spoon of sugar.

Love this old time favorite. Wish the were a little stronger.

We enjoyed our horehound candy !! It works, and our grandparents and parents gave it to us when we were kids for coughing and sore throat.

My husband loves this candy. Hard to find in store.

Horehound candy is a uniquely refreshing old-fashioned treat that balances sweetness and bitterness in a way few candies do. Its flavor often reminds people of root beer, with its warm, herbal sweetness, while also carrying the deep, slightly sharp notes of licorice. The horehound herb itself, "Marrubium vulgare" is the star ingredient, bringing a bold, earthy bitterness that sets it apart from ordinary sweets. When blended with sugar and sometimes other herbal flavors, that sharpness mellows into something truly special: a candy that is smooth, complex, and deeply satisfying. It not only soothes the throat but also leaves a crisp, cooling finish that makes it feel both nostalgic and invigorating. More than just candy, it’s a timeless comfort, one of those rare flavors that connects you to tradition while still feeling refreshingly unique.

Tasty as usual. Speedy delivery.

This was my first time trying this brand of candies and they are delicious! I’ve already ordered two of the other flavors. I don’t think I’ll be buying them on a regular basis though because they are quite expensive. But I think I deserved treat! Lol. They’re pretty good sized candy. They’re just loose in the bag and they have a bit of a powdered sugar finish on them to keep them from sticking together. The only thing that I don’t like about these is that they really die inside of your mouth a reddish pink. The flavor is very good. They are a good quality hard candy. I would recommend them if you’re looking for something sweet & tasty to try.

Raspberry candy very good

Delicious raspberry flavour. Dissolve slowly as they are old fashioned, super hard candies. I got them because my mouth is very dry from my medication.
