YumEarth Organic Gluten Free Strawberry Licorice Snack Packs - Allergy Friendly, Gluten Free, Non-GMO, Vegan, No Artificial Dyes - 5 Ounce (Pack of 6)

I love these. They are one of the few candies I can safely have, and they happen to be delicious. Perfect size for my mouth! They're not soft like standard licorice, but that's because they're not made with gelatin. Gelatin is made from animal cartilage, aka not vegan nor safe for people with alpha-gal syndrome. It can result in harder chewy snacks, but I like them so hey, whatever. They're not sticky, which is a bonus, and will require a very high temperature before they melt. Personally, I do think it's overpriced, but most food is now because of "inflation," but in reality is just theft by companies who want more money while also reducing the quantity of what is packaged. I do love the quality of these, and I'm genuinely angry I cannot find these at any grocery store in my area anymore. Their other candies are present, but not these.

For a gluten intolerant person who loves licorace and hasn’t been able to eat it, this is something I was not expecting to taste and mouth feel like the good old days, but it does. ✅. Bloody expensive but for a treat stash it’s worth it to me.

Yummmmmm!! And just the right about of chewy!

I first purchased a bag of these in an old fashioned candy store in Banff but doubted I’d find them in the US once I got home. Lo and behold, I found them on Amazon! I was especially delighted to find gluten free licorice because prior to this I thought all licorice was out for me after finding I am gluten intolerant. I really liked the taste and smell, so when I got home I was delighted to find i could order on Amazon and not try to hunt them down at a candy store. Now I Subscribe and Save for the 6 pack every month. I have read the reviews that say they are too sweet, not flavorful, too hard or not fresh but I didn’t find that to be true at all, even after receiving multiple orders of these. I would order even more each month if I weren’t watching my weight. My 40+ year old son, who is a true connoisseur of black licorice, loved them too even though they are gluten free so I am not alone in thinking the flavor and Lchewiness is just right. The price seems right for the quality and number of pieces in a bag. They are bite size so a few are very satisfying.

Ordered the traditional black Licorice twice now from this company, and twice they have picked / shipped "strawberry" licorice from the other side of the world.
