Gustaf's AllSorts Gourmet English Licorice Candy, 6.3 Ounce Peg Bag

Delicious

I've loved licorice candy ever since I was a child. Any flavor. Any form. But AllSorts were, and still are, one of my favorites because so many different kinds of licorice come in one single package. Earlier this year, I ordered a bag of Wiley Wallaby's Australian AllSorts (all of their licorice is incredibly fresh and totally delicious), but the word "All" in AllSorts was a bit of a stretch as several of the kinds typically included in an AllSorts assortment were missing. So this time around, I decided to order from another company, and based on reviews, Gustaf's was my pick. Ack, what a disappointment! Not only was the bag tiny, but when I opened it, it was half empty (yes, I know the packages are done by weight). At first glance, the candy inside looked old, and when I tasted it, it was stale, very hard and practically crumbled apart. I have no idea how long it sat in a hot warehouse, but it was really not edible and a total waste of money. I rechecked the reviews and did find more than a few 1-star ratings from customers who had the same unpleasant experience as me; I only wish I'd seen them sooner. I'll definitely be ordering again from Wiley Wallaby's.

Fresh and tasty. Great assortment.

I have purchased this candy before and enjoyed it. This time the pieces were less fresh and harder to chew. The assortment was not balanced either. I like this size because it li.its my portions.

Very fresh

They didn’t taste fresh

I had high hopes when ordering this. I should have listened to prior reviews. The candy is stale, and stuck together, I would return it if I could. TERRIBLE stuff!

Licorice was really hard and the amount in bag was quite small.
