Cavendish & Harvey | Sour Lemon Hard Candy Drops | 5.3 Ounce Tin

WONDERFUL - Strong lemon flavor This isn't SUPER sweet. it takes a long time to dissolve. There is a bit of sourness but nothing like a SoUr CaNdY. The powder isn't a sour agent. These are my favorite lemon hard candies. I have been on a lemon kick lately and I've tried a bunch of different ones without artificial dyes, artificial flavorings, or unhealthy sweeteners.

This is a very flavorful hard candy. Well design so that it does not irritate your mouth. Good valve considering the quality.

Great taste! Not to sour, not to sweet.

I love these things! Very Smooth! The sour is just the right level. Worth every penny!

The flavor is good, however, the candy is too sweet and not really sour.

So nice and sour! Amazingly Addictive in a good way.

I’ve posted a couple half hearted reviews of a couple different Cavendish & Harvey candies. They’ve all been five star because C&H is a top notch candy company, but they didn’t really trip my trigger like the lemon drops. Cavendish & Harvey Sour Lemon Drops stand apart. Cavendish & Harvey’s, Sour Lemon Drops are the absolute best hard lemon candies on the market. How do I know? Because I’ve tried them all…seriously. I googled “LEMON DROPS” and bought one of everything that populated the search and nothing even came close the natural lemon taste and overall flavor of the Cavendish & Harvey candies. I want an automatic order for these. I love them more than bacon, more than beer, and almost as much as whisky.

These drops have excellent lemon flavor from real lemon juice. The tin is bigger than you'd think, and the candies are packaged with confectioner's sugar to prevent their adsorbing water from the air. They're also made without artificial flavors or colors, which makes me really want to love them. However, they suffer from 2 problems, one minor and one major. First, they're not particularly sour. I'd say they're just regular lemon drops rather than sour lemon drops. It's a bit of a nitpick about the naming, but since lemon itself is already sour, I'd expect "sour lemon" to be extra sour. The major issue, though, is these candies are rather dangerous to eat. They have somewhat large air bubbles, and when sucking on the candies, the air bubbles form extremely sharp edges on the candies. I've cut my tongue a couple of times just by moving the candy around in my mouth, and the sharp pain and sudden taste of blood really detract from the experience. As it stands, the bubbles will cost 2 stars, but Cavendish and Harvey can get rid of the bubbles, I'd happily give a full 5 stars.

Yeah right, pack of 12. You only get pack of one! Total false advertising. O.K. went up to 3 stars. Company refunded my money immediately and posted apology. Thank you.
