Sperlari "Spicchi" Citrus Orange & Lemon 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.

Made in Italy, this Sperlari hard candy has stood the test of time by presenting a well-quality tasting product to its customers for almost 190 years. The product is individually wrapped for cleanliness, it's gluten free, and made to top quality materials - using no artificial colors or dyes or gelatin from animal products. I enjoy the mint "meta" and Anise "Anice" flavors, but several other great options are available. Please keep in mind that these are "bulk" bags of candy 1 kg/2.2 lbs Bag (1-Pack).

These are excellent tasting quality hard candy and I highly recommend them.

These candies are delicious although the bag didn’t seem evenly distributed between the two flavors definitely have more of one than the other.

These candies are delicious and worth every penny!

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

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

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.
