    Cleaner ingredient list and very tasty licorice twists. Can be a little heavy in the sugar crystal coating which makes it a little messy to eat as the sugar tends to get everywhere.

    These are terrible! I bought the sour cherry, thinking they'd be like the black, except for the flavor, of course. The black licorice is very good -- normal high quality licorice. Sour cherry: the flavor tastes very "fake", and has a harsh chemical after taste. And they're coated in ... sugar? Smothered more like it. And I think the crystals are where the 'sour' comes from.

    Anyone want a HUGE box of horrible-tasting so-called licorice?

    The flavor is not bad, but not as sour or much apple flavor as I would like. Very thick, sort of wet texture. I will eat it but not sure will buy again.

    You have to love quality natural black licorice, but if you do then you'll love these. They a chewy and delicious. Newman never disappoints. I should mention that they aren't %100 percent organic though.
