Darrell LeaSoft Australian Licorice, Non-GMO, No Palm Oil, Plant Based, No High Fructose Corn Syrup, Soft & Chewy Licorice Candy, Made in Australia (Strawberry, 7 Ounce (Pack of 1))

It was considered “the best he’d ever had” by my licorice “snob”!! Great anise flavor. Soft & fresh. And meets &/or exceeds all expectations. If anise is your preferred choice, don’t hesitate to place an order!!!

I love this item! Initially, I found Darrell Lea Soft Australian Licorice at our local Aldi's and purchased 2 7oz bags (all they had). Black licorice has always been my favorite... even as a kid...at 77 my taste buds have changed but I still salivate when I think of black licorice. Happily, Darrel Lea's Soft Australian Licorice does not disappoint, the licorice flavor comes though --intense and suprisingly soft and with time melts in my mouth.After several trips back to Aldi's, I could not locate my licorice--even the manager indicated there was nothing he could do. But Amazon came through! I found Darrell Lea Soft Australian Licorice, Original Black Flavor, 7 Ounce Bag in an 8-Pack at a price more reasonable than Aldi's. The ingredients are "pure"--nothing artificial. I'm trusting that Darrell Lee's black licorice will be available to me for years to come! Thank you Amazon!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is the best ever. The taste is pure licorice. I bought a bag last week from Trader Joes brand and it was not black as it stated it was blue/purple and it tasted like grape, not anywhere near the quality of the Australian. This is 5 stars, I will buy more when I finish this case.

Great Price!!! and the taste is very good. The size is a little smaller than other brands and not quite as smooth, but it is very good Liquorice and is More Affordable with good Quality. I will buy again it is worth every bit of it ~ Brian

I have to be honest here. I was buying some items off a Amazon gift card and didn't want to leave it w/ less than $5, so I decided to get a small treat (i.e., candy). I was only expecting A bag, so imagine my surprise when a box of 8 showed up!As for the product itself....I need to be honest here as well and mention I never had soft Australian licorice, just Twizzlers (and Vines, don't know if that counts). When I first opened the box (smell is amazing) it felt hard, however it was very cold outside so I gave it some time and it did soften up. Thing is, how do I judge it's softness and taste since I have nothing to compare it to? I'll take up the negative points in other comments.Is it hard as a rock? Not even close. I easily bend or twist a piece in half, tho I can't squeeze it flat between my fingers like a marshmallow. It is softer than Twizzler bites and Nibs if that helps. I have no problem with the texture at all (but again, I am not comparing to anything). Is it flavorless like some are saying? IMO it has TOO MUCH flavor lol. I love sweet but this is a bit too sweet, even for me. The first few secs. it's perfect but once you bite it you get an explosion of strawberry sweetness...which may be a good thing for some people (taste is so subjective)...for me, too overwhelming. For reference, I can eat a 1lb bag of Twizzler nibs or bites in one sitting. What? I'm only said I could, not saying I did (hehe I did).I wish I could be of better help. For less than $5 (what I paid) it was worth it, it certainly wasn't unedible. If I gift half the bags and eat a piece or two once in a while, imo, it will be well worth it. They need to make it w/ less sugar (not just no sugar), the amount in one piece and/or one serving is insane!

We like the Australian licorice , Darryl Lea is the best, came packaged well, was fresh, and came in a timely fashion.

It doesn't taste like licorice.

Although i love the flavor, i prefer the consistency of the 1.92 lb. bulk licorice by Darrell Lea. As it was unavailable at the time i ordered this was a decent option. Just prefer the ribbed licorice that is a bit larger
