SweetGourmet Assorted Dutch Licorice Laces | Bulk Candy | 1 Pound

I LOVE these laces! Like so many I have so much nostalgia for this candy. When I was a kid and we went to the movies, Mom was frugal. Matinees only and she would bring her big purse with brown paper bags of popcorn-maker popcorn (the 80s before microwaves were a common household item) and cans of soda from home. But because you have to have candy too, she would stop off at a gas station and we could each pick out one. If the store had em, I would always get that skinny cellophane package with the generic red and yellow paper top label of red laces 🥰 For whatever reason, they seemed to fall out of favor and/or just became hard to find, at least in my neck of the woods, so I kind of forgot about them. Then in early 2000’s my folks got a lake house (thanks to Mom’s frugality (thanks Mom!)) and just outside the community was this independently owned combination bait and tackle/pizza/gas station. And wouldn’t you know?! They had an entire aisle of those generic candies in red and yellow skinny cellophane bags! Every time I went out to the lake, coming and going, I would stop in that gas station and clear them out! Keep in mind this was before Amazon so we had to do things like that. So onto my review. For this product, the reviews seem very mixed. And I obviously can’t contest that somebody received a bad product, but it seems that there are definitely two camps. Me, I like mine snappy and chewy (some may call stale lol) Others prefer theirs softer, hence why I’m here. If you like snappy and chewy (plus a really good fruity flavor) then I highly recommend these! If you like laces that are softer and an easier chew, these may not be the ones for you. And while I don’t remember ever using RLL for any project or crafting, these would probably be a good choice because they hold together so well. Hence a snap 🫰

A little pricey but very tasty. Smells amazing and very addicting.

An old licorice came in pieces, not strings slimy sticky mess

This is really delicious very fresh not sticky at all and bright red. I would definitely purchase this again.

My favorite strawberry laces They taste great and are definitely value for money. Nice color too. Perfect chewiness

taste good and aren’t hard so you can easily chew. just make sure you brush your teeth after because it might get stuck in your teeth

This is hands down the BEST licorice I’ve ever had in my life. My only complaint is that it was out of stock when I tried to order more. It’s worth the money.

So disappointed!!!!!! Have ordered this licorice eight times before and it was always a big hit. I don’t know if they changed the ingredients or what happened, but it tasted so different and not in a good way. Also it used to be Long string shoelaces. These are little cut up pieces. Have to look for a new licorice now. Very sad.
