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.

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. ## Features - Brand: Gustaf's - Flavor: Honey ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07DN21KYL | | Animal Theme | Beehive | | Best Sellers Rank | #44,822 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) #40 in Licorice | | Brand | Gustaf's | | Brand Name | Gustaf's | | Candy Consistency | Chewy | | Color | black | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 487 Reviews | | Diet Type | Vegetarian | | Diet type | Vegetarian | | Flavor | Honey | | Flavour | Honey | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00086232517059 | | Is the Item Heat Sensitive? | No | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.15 Kilograms | | Item Shape | Beehive | | Item Weight | 144 Grams | | Item form | Liquid | | Manufacturer | Gustaf's | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Part Number | 086232517059 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Snack, Treat, Gift | | Region of Origin | Netherlands | | Size | 5.2 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Natural | | Sugar Candy Type | Licorice | | UPC | 086232517059 | | Unit Count | 147.42 Grams | | Unit count | 147.42 Grams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gustaf's - **Diet type:** Vegetarian - **Flavour:** Honey - **Item form:** Liquid - **Unit count:** 147.42 Grams ## Images ![Gustaf's Beehive Honey Dutch Licorice Drops - 5.2 oz Bag | Sweet Honey Black Licorice Drops - Dutch Candy from Netherlands - Chewy Liquorice Treats for Sharing and Candy Bowls - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xyWbhyo8L.jpg) ## 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! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A bit of honey *by C***E on 3 August 2026* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Licorice Fans—And a Sore Throat Bonus! *by R***S on 28 June 2025* 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.

Just a wad of syrups and starch that's not even entertaining to chew! ## Frequently Bought Together - Gustaf's Beehive Dutch Licorice Drops - 5.2oz Bag - Sweet Honey Black Licorice Candy - Dutch Candy from Netherlands - Sweet Black Liquorice Treats - Beehive Liqourice with Honey - Gustaf's Salted Dutch Licorice Coins - 5.2oz Bag - Salted Black Licorice Coins - Dutch Candy from Netherlands - Salty Black Liquorice Treats - Gustaf's Dutch Licorice Cats - 5.2oz Bag - Sweet Black Licorice Cats - Dutch Candy from Netherlands - Sweet Black Liquorice Treats --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/540991779-gustafs-beehive-honey-dutch-licorice-drops-5-2-oz-bag](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/540991779-gustafs-beehive-honey-dutch-licorice-drops-5-2-oz-bag) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
