Barkleys Black Licorice Candy with Menthol, Licorice Pellets Covered with Refreshing Menthol- Gluten Free Licorice, Vegan (1 Can x 16 gr.)

This product description says INTENSE FLAVOR. This description hits the nail directly on the head. This is the most overwhelming INTENSE licorice flavor i have ever experienced. This might work for cooking or baking as a flavor or candy making bit for me it does not work for what i thought it is. For me, it is not candy. The flavor is so strong it is over whelming. I can see this being used in baking or candy making.

The container that these come in are absolutely tiny for the price, I was shocked when I opened my package! It was very disappointing.Initially, the mint part of these pellets is mildly enjoyable but not particularly flavourful. What's underneath? Vile. I have had the actual root and it was much more pleasant compared to these pellets. Bitter without almost any actual flavour and actually made me nauseaus, and I usually adore a good bitter flavour, but without anything to actually taste? What a waste. This product made me reevaluate my purchasing habits on this site.I would only recommend this product if you wish to punish a child for biting other children, and find washing thier mouth out with soap to be an ineffective disciplinary measure. The layers of disappointment combined with the eventual dread they will have of this product will work wonders.

Nice small and easy to carry in the purse, the licorice taste is easy to handle and I take it for belching, which works well for me.

Good, but not a SenSen replacement. Other reviewers have said the same: very strong licorice flavor, small container (think a pocket box of wooden matches), fresh-tasting, slightly sweet, but I didn't get an unpleasant aftertaste. I happen to like them, but I can see how others might not like the strong licorice flavor.

Yummy

I thought there would be more sweetness to them. They are very flavorful, but very small.

Good for your stomach! My grandfather used licorice for his stomach pain for years.

I'm on the hunt for a candy that is similar to Sen-Sen. I hate black licorice but love Sen-Sen. I actually just finished an old pack, so the taste was fresh in my mind for comparison. This has reviews saying it was very close, so decided to try it. This "mint" (menthol/licorice) may look the part, and consistency is similar, but the taste is awful. So it failed and my hunt will continue.This is probably good for those who like straight and strong black licorice though.
