Licorice Candy Review: Very fast delivery - Fast delivery Love this candy Review: Would I buy again or recommend? Sorry, no. - The bag of Gustaf's Allsorts Gourmet English Licorice I received was a huge disappointment in both bag received and lack of freshness. First, the 6.3oz bag I received is not the same as the bag shown on here which has on it an assortment of 10 different candies that is typical for Allsorts. Instead, the bag I received shows only 8 different candies on it, and then inside the bag there was only 5 different candies. The bag contained 25 pieces consisting of only 8 pink layers, 7 yellow layers, 1 brown layer, 5 yellow coconut rolls, 4 pink sprinkles jelly buttons. So there were no plain licorice twists, no white five layers, and no cream-filled licorice rolls(my fav!) that is on the advertised bag. Second, the bag I received was within the best buy date but they certainly seemed old and stale. They do not have the soft smooth texture that Allsorts should have and instead are dry/crumbly, several of the layered candies separated from the licorice, and the licorice was hard and tasted awful! So, would I buy again or recommend? Sorry, no.

Happiness In A Bag
An all time favorite but what was in the bag didn't match the cost .

At least they're Allsorts
I LOVE Allsorts, have since I was a child and my grandma had them (in the 1950's!) These are sometimes dry and stale, and often not ALL sort, more like a FEW sorts. Hate the tubes and those with beads.

Not a soft candy.
Flavor okay but hard. The individual pieces are usually fresher, softer.

Superb!
If you are a fan of the candy Good and Plenty than you might enjoy the taste of this British licorice. It's less chewy yet still chewy like licorice and the colored parts of it such as the yellow, white, pink, brown have different flavors that compliments the black licorice. This is my favorite licorice in 1st place and 2nnd place Twizzlers in my opinion. I will soon buy it again I actually crave it sometimes.

Old & Stale Tasting
Purchased two bags of the gourmet English licorice, and both bags were awful. Even though the expiration dates were in 2026, the licorice was hard and stale. After trying a few pieces from each bag, we tossed both bags into the trash. However, we give Amazon credit for giving us a complete reunion and without a fuss. We love this licorice candy, but it should be fresh, soft and delicious to taste. Guess we will have to wait until we are back in London again.

Disgusting
I love Allsorts and was excited about getting this delivery. Unfortunately when I went to open them they were less than appealing. The expiration date says 5/2026, but they look like they expired in the Stone Age and are inedible.
