Haupt Lakrits - Svenskjävlar 250 g

I expected the salmiak kick but not the creaminess underneath. The 250 g bag lasted me about a week, mostly because one piece is genuinely enough at a time. Finally a licorice that doesn't taste watered down.

The salty shell hits so hard it’s almost aggressive, but then the soft cream inside balances it out just enough to keep you reaching for another piece. I’ve had salty licorice before, but nothing that makes my mouth pucker like this one. Dangerous bag to have open on the coffee table.

That first bite nearly made me tear up, and I loved every second of it. The soft salty cream inside is rich, but that brutal outer shell of salmiak is what really separates the daring from the weak. If you think you’ve had salty licorice before, this 250g bag will humble you fast.
