Licorice.com | Red and Black Licorice | Licorice Candy Twists | | Soft & Chewy Australian Licorice In Yummy & Sweet Strawberry Flavor | Pack of 2

I absolutely loved these candies! From the moment I opened the bag, the aroma was amazing. They have the perfect balance of sweetness with that unique licorice touc flavorful but not overwhelming. The texture is soft and easy to chew, not hard or sticky like other brands I’ve tried. The packaging is also very nice and practical to carry around or keep at home.I definitely recommend them if you’re looking for a high quality snack with an authentic taste. They quickly became my favorite, and I’ll be buying them again for sure

Delicious licorice and the canisters were filled to the top!

Rock solid. So hard my gift recipient threw one at the ground and it sounded like a rock. Inedible texture. Not soft. No smell at all due to hardness. Not fresh. Was black in color at least....

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.

I'm a big twizzlers fan, but after trying this red licorice it's all I want now. The red licorice flavor was just way better and the chew was nice and soft. I am a fan of black licorice but I didn't notice anything really special about theirs, so I'll stick to a different brand for black.

Great.!!!

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.

Really good licorice! The red has a nice strawberry flavor and the black has that classic, rich licorice taste. Both are super soft and chewy and not tough at all. The containers are cute too and keep everything fresh. Great for snacking or gifting. Would totally buy again!
