## Description

Brand: Gustaf's Flavor: Honey

Review: A bit of honey - These are delicious with a touch of hint. I wish they were a little chewier. I am on a search for an old fashioned licorice that was called licorice Buttons. These were as close as I’ve come to finding the texture.
Review: Perfect for Licorice Fans—And a Sore Throat Bonus! - Soothing, Smooth, and Packed with Flavor—Great for Licorice Lovers If you’re a fan of black licorice, these Gustaf’s Beehive Licorice Drops are a must-try. The addition of honey gives them a subtle, smooth sweetness that balances the licorice beautifully without being sharp, bitter, or overpowering. They’re not marketed as cough drops, but I’ve found them to be surprisingly soothing on a sore throat—the texture is gentle, and the natural flavors are calming without any artificial sting. The packaging is bright and cheerful, and the bag arrived in perfect shape through the mail. Every piece is a little beehive-shaped delight that feels nostalgic and comforting. These aren’t your average candy—they feel thoughtful and just a little old-world in the best way. I’ll definitely be keeping a bag on hand, especially for days when I want a treat that’s both flavorful and comforting.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the ingredients?**
A: Hello!

The ingredients are listed as: sugar, glucose syrup, (wheat, corn) modified potato starch, cane sugar molasses, modified wheat starch*, 8.0% honey, licorice extract, ammonium chloride, water, coconut oil*, glazing agent (beeswax)

*MAY CONTAIN GLUTEN AND COCONUT, MAY CONTAIN SOY

**Q: what are the ingredients?**
A: I am not sure. However they were lovely. If I you like different types of licorice these are great. Slightly salty and slightly sweet. Hope this helps. Go for it.

**Q: Does this product contain ammonium chloride, or sodium chloride, or both?**
A: Yes, the Behive Licorice contains ammonia chloride.  Should I be concerned?

**Q: Are these soft, hard or inbetween?  Are these sweet, salty or sour?  looking for something similar to double salted but w/ some sweetness, is this it?**
A: In between hard and soft, but almost crumbly. I've only had these once so I don't know if that is normal or if they were older maybe. I like salted candy but find the double salted too much. These are more sweet but not too much, not sour at all. Not too salty. I found you can taste the honey. Based on what you are looking for, I don't think they wil be salty enough. But I liked them!

### ⭐⭐⭐ I'm a licorice lover going back the original Switzer's, in the 1950s, and this import disappoints
*by R***N on 17 May 2026*

I look to Europe for licorice that has some oomph, and am surprised that this product from the Netherlands has little flavor, of licorice or honey. Just a wad of syrups and starch that's not even entertaining to chew!
