Claeys Sanded Candy Drops, Wild Cherry, 2 Pound

Absolutely delicious! Not only are these wonderful on their own but a couple in your ice tea makes it a great extra zing

Very good candy. Great tasting.

Addictive

tastes great , should be individually wrapped

I love black licorice in any form. These were great, I pop one in my mouth to enjoy all day long.

Best cherry taste. My favorite.

Great product, second time I ordered, will order again.

I like hard candy, and finding other than the standard butterscotch disks or starlight mints can be difficult at times. I wanted to create a mixed assortment of flavors that was similar to spice Gum Drops, so I bought 7 flavors of the Claey's candies. Here are my opinions on each flavor: • Licorice- This is okay, but I consider myself a Licorice "Connoisseur" and the flavor isn't deep enough for my liking. If I were interested in licorice flavor alone, I'd buy another brand, even if it wasn't a hard candy. • Clove- This is AMAZING, and I would definitely buy it again. The flavor is very distinct and is "spot-on" to what I think Cloves taste and smell like. • Anise- Sometimes substituted for Licorice, it's interesting to compare and contrast this against the actual Licorice flavor. This didn't taste all that interesting to me, and seemed even less flavorful than the Licorice. I won't buy it again. Although it doesn't seem to add much to my spice assortment, it doesn't distract from it either. • Peppermint- Although it's easy to find peppermint hard candy, this one is really good, and complements my "spice mix" very well. Would definitely buy again. • Cinnamon- It's getting really hard to find good Cinnamon hard candy, especially after Jolly Rancher's Fire Kisses were discontinued. This is a pretty good replacement for those, but has a different mouth feel. I would buy again. Nice addition to my spice mix. • Sassafras- Wow. So, good. It's an unusual flavor, but it somewhat citrus-like, and complements the other flavors very well. I'd definitely buy again. • Horehound- Meh. I wasn't as familiar with this flavor when I decided it seemed "old-timey" and would complement my "mix" of flavors. I could do without it. I don't hate it, but it's not something I'd buy again. One thing I find odd is that Claey's can't find more distinct colors to make it easier to tell which candy is which flavor. There are two basic shapes that I call "footballs" and tube-like "cylinders." (See picture.) You can see how close all the red and pink flavors are, and it's pretty hard to tell them apart. Mixed together in a bowl, the 7 flavors mostly appear black, red, and orange. I have not tried any of the fruit flavors, but I think these candies are a real hit. I highly recommend.
