Not enough and too much ....The Pontefract cakes were not that sweet but clearly had a lot of licorice extract so, if you like the bittersweet flavor of pure Italian licorice extract, you will love this product (because the 'cakes' actually do taste like a soft version of 'Spezzatina' or 'Rombetti')! Otherwise, this product is probably not for you ....

Recommended strongly by a friend in England. She was spot on, I love the strong licorice flavor combined with a slight treacle flavor. This will be a constant resident of my candy jar.

Easily one of the best English licorices available. The Haribo clones are a waste of time..

These have complex, nuanced licorice flavor with a molasses sweetness. Always makes my day and studying a little better. :) Probably too intense/bitter for kids, but what a neat way to make history come alive

Classic! Excellent, strong flavor, perfect bite, softer than I anticipated. I love these.
