Lakrids by Bülow – No. 3 Red
Hipster licorice. Two words I’d never thought I’d put together, and even less likely to be something I’d ever try. I really don’t know how else to describe this stuff. It’s about as pricey as…

Mentos – Spice It Up
Spice or heat is not something we are typically used to seeing here in the Frigid North, so I can’t really speak to if this is a relatively new phenomenon, but it’s certainly caught my…

Green & Black’s – Organic Dark Chocolate with Hazelnuts and Currants
Green & Black’s has earned my trust after delivering tasty offerings in the past. In fact, they were the brand that made me appreciate white chocolate and not instantly write off all types of it…
Panda Licorice – Soft Licorice
I’ve talked a bit before about how Panda is the brand that I feel can get people into actual decent licorice, and not the plastic Twizzlers nonsense that you see everywhere. Sure it’s more expensive…
