Van Slooten Souvenir Shop 200g

The box is a proper Dutch import, so the licorice actually tastes like licorice—salty, deep, and complex, not just sugar. I opened it for a movie night and the soft pieces practically melted while the firmer ones gave my jaw a good workout. Already ordering another one.

The mix of soft and firm pieces keeps every handful interesting, and the salty-sweet balance is spot on for anyone who takes their licorice seriously. I opened the box expecting to ration it, but the variety made it too easy to keep reaching in until it was gone.

This box disappeared way faster than I expected — I kept reaching in for another soft salty-sweet piece. The mix of smooth and firmer textures kept it interesting all the way to the bottom. Definitely my go-to when I want proper Dutch licorice without any chalky bits.
