Jelly Belly Licorice Mix

// January 12th, 2010 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Licorice Candy

Yep, that time again another Candy Tuesday with different flavors all the time! Check it out.

I was a bit hesitant before trying these Jelly Belly‘s but they did surprise me as you’ve seen in the video. When I searched online to find the same bag it wasn’t available. At JellyBelly.com it’s possible they have replaced the name with the “bridge mix“. In the licorice bridge mix there are jelly beans, the candy covered soft jelly licorice drops and covered “seeds”. I’m sure its the same give and take away that soft gummy bear that was included in my bag! That was yummy.

The bag cost me almost $2.00 and I found it at Wal-Mart. There weren’t many left so I’m assuming that it is being discontinued. However, the  bridge mix is alive and from what I heard people like the taste. If you absolutely don’t like licorice you probably shouldn’t try it. But honestly its soft and not a strong licorice flavor as you might assume!

Panda Raspberry Licorice Chews

Hmmm Yummy!! Check out my review of the most famous Finnish Candy Brand Panda!

I wasn’t a big licorice eater before I moved to Finland but with flavors like this raspberry how could anyone resist? My all time favorite Panda Licorice Chews or Sticks are banana and strawberry filled. However, I really like the all natural totally raspberry flavor.

You can buy these online or in a health foods store or probably even Wal-mart if you’re lucky! I prefer to buy from the Finnish Candy store SuomiKauppa (Finland Shop).

I’ve changed the size of the videos.. However, still not pleased with the outcome. Probably need to shop around for another cam..

Sour Electroshock Licorice

// October 14th, 2008 // No Comments » // International Candy, Licorice Candy

Today I have some international candy for Candy Tuesdays!! Right now I am visiting Spain and happened to get some goodies along the way. Enjoy the video!

As I said in the video, I normally do not eat licorice candy unless it has a fruity flavor such as these licorice straws with filling or without. The candy manufacturer is Fiesta and they do have a website in both English and Spanish. The Spanish candy website has most of the products which can be found at Fiesta.es. The English website (FiestaCandy.com) only seems to have chocolate rocks which is something very interesting.

The price for the package of four was 2 euros and as of today´s currency its $2.70. A bit expensive but it was well worth the taste. In most candy stores in Spain the licorice straws are popular and cost around 0.05 cents. However, the sour inside filling shocks is new and therefore priced more expensive than the rest.

The Sour Electroshock Flavors

• Strawberry
• Cola
• Apple

The translation for licorice in Spanish is Regaliz! I hope you´ve learned something new in the world of international candy! Enjoy

Below is a snap shot of the different types of licorice candy made in Spain.
