Excellent flavor, fresh and moist. Outstanding product.This product is what all others should aspire to be!I picked up a bag of this licorice brand at Bronners, the most fabulous christmas store in the world (in frankenmuth, MI, check out their website). I love redvines and hate twizzlers. However, neither of these brands begins to compare with the heavenly experience of eating the real brand of Kookaburra red licorice. I wish it was cheaper but maybe that is a good thing since I only order it once in a while, thus sparing my furniture from me getting any fatter!!! And it is hard to find, so I am very glad that Amazon offers this brand on their site.This is the first time I ordered this 2 pound bag. My previous orders were the 10 oz red licorice bags in the original kookaburra packaging. I was very disappointed when this 2 pound bag arrived today. I think this reseller repackaged these 2 pounds from a perhaps larger quantity, if it is even the original brand canday. It arrived in a flimsy plastic bag with a cheap looking label on the bag. It has a yankee traders website stamped on the bottom of the label. Now where on this label is there an indication that this product is the original kookaburra red licorice. It is not as chewy as the product I had before in the original packaging.Give this one a pass. Buy from a retailer that is keeping the product in the original packaging.This is seriously the best licorice ever! So soft and chewy and the flavor is to die for. It's too bad it's quite expensive. HIGHLY recommend!I love licorice, usually go with wiley wallaby brand (strawberry and original) as they are super soft and almost melt in your mouth, these are almost as good, plenty of flavor, soft and chewy.These have a very good taste & texture.Unfortunately, I have consumed almost thewhole package....ALREADY! Wow!We love it at home, it's a great little treat when you're craving something sweet!Good licorice! Would have been 5 stars if it had the unique flavor I was trying to match from a confectionary I used to know. It was worth 5 stars other than that.You will enjoy it!
