Sperlari"Anice" Anise Hard Candy Bulk Bag, Individually Wrapped Italian Sweets, 1 Kg / 2.2 Lbs Bag (1-Pack)

I found these anise candies when I went looking for the square red anise candies in the red cellophane wrapping I remembered from when I was a little kid, many years ago. While looking I realized that even if I found ones that looked like those red ones they most likely wouldn't live up to the expectation created by nostalgia. I believe these colorless and transparent hard anise candies are less sweet than the ones I'm remembering, more like chewing a fresh picked anise leaf or crunching some dry anise seeds, and that's all to the good. I ordered a 7 ounce bag first and needn't have bothered. I knew from the first delicious candy that I'd be ordering the big bag. Not only do these taste like a sip of anisette, their elongated oval shape has a really nice "mouth feel". Very good quality candies and a good value when purchased in the 1 kg/2.2 lb bag.

I brought these mints to add to a tea gift set that I gave to 18 friends & family. Every raved about the nice minty flavor and they asked where I bought the mints. I would buy these mints again.

Italians know their fruit flavors. Yummy

Great tasting mints! Love these more than the store bought mentos and the taste is not too overpowering

These are addictive! Can’t stop eating them, they are so good! They are perfect!

I like citrus candies that are not too sour/tart or too sweet. I decided to try these. I was pleasantly surprised. I like the flavor and they were not old or stale. I would order again but would like to try other brands as well like Perugina sorrento spicchi

if you like this flavor they are good

Light and not too sweet. I bought for a recent flight to suck on during takeoff and landing. Also is a lite snack between meals.
