Americans Try Licorice and Toffee from Finland

[@agranda6379]

Happy Friday Tina and Ross! Good to see the Finnish products. Never tried them! I'm not a great lover of licorice, but prefer the fruity ones. The soft Australian liquorice is rather good. Also a lot of liquorice is not good for those of us with hypertension. Those chocolate toffees are a winner for me! Lovely combination and not too much of a threat to the teeth!! Have a great weekend. Hugs to Finn. X

Hi Agranda. Happy Friday to you too! We both enjoy the Australian licorice too. And the chocolate and toffee are wonderful together. Enjoy your weekend!

I love black liquorice with a candy stopper on 1 end to stop the fruit flavoured sherbert falling out

[@FinnLovesFood]

We don’t have anything like that here, but we may have something similar that was sent to us. Still need to try it.

Lovely black liquorice and no coconut 🤣, I don't know if you've ever tried aniseed balls which were a favourite of mine and also Victory Vs which were made with Chloroform and Ether although they are different these days, enjoy the liquorice and have a nice weekend.

[@AngelaVara-i4l]

I agree with you,all these are my favourite too.

[@FinnLovesFood]

Hi Michael, no we haven’t seen or tried aniseed balls. I had to do a double take at the mention of chloroform and ether! Have a great weekend!

[@michaelriordan8265]

I think if you had tried them you would have done a double take, they certainly cleared your head and everything else, of course it's not allowed these days, I think chloroform and ether were used as anaesthetics and yet we could purchase them as sweets lol

[@FinnLovesFood]

@@michaelriordan8265 we've only heard of using them to knock people out! Amazing they were in sweets.

Have the toffe's got chocolate in them or on the outside. AS thay sound like toffee eclars from the UK. TAKE CARE AND all the best. 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍🐶

[@FinnLovesFood]

These have chocolate on the outside and I think they are softer than the Eclairs we tried. Have a great weekend!

Love Licorice..and have eaten Finish licorice!....I brought some and eat some while stranded at Helsinki Airport..hehe.. on my way back from Japan to Scotland...I flew out to Japan to see my favourite band LIVE...And on the way back..I missed my connecting flight (my own fault, not on purpose) and had to spend 4 days at the airport for the next flight home...And I eat a lot of sweets while there..including licorice based ones.

[@FinnLovesFood]

Yikes! Four days is a long time to spend stuck at an airport! At least you had some good licorice.

[@Bodneyblue]

@@FinnLovesFood Yea wasn't great..I was trying to make the trip as cheap as possible, but blew it coming home...As I had to pay for another flight and food for 4 days. And that's not cheap at airports...But the concert was amazing!..Japanese all female rock band named "BAND-MAID"..at Yokohama Arena...I adore them!.

[@FinnLovesFood]

@@Bodneyblue glad it was worth it! 🙂 We haven't heard of BAND-MAID before.

Tina getting you back for the coconut products x

[@FinnLovesFood]

Yes I am. 😂 And we have even more licorice items from Richard!

[@Billyzgstar]

In England we get licorice in a product called Dolly Mixtures a lot of people like some and hate some, my favourites are called licorice torpedos its licorice in a crunchy coating looks like pill shape.

[@FinnLovesFood]

We just got a box from a viewer and it had Dolly Mix. I'm happy to hear there is licorice in it! The licorice torpedos sound like our Good 'n Plenty.

Yum, yum, yum.xx😊

[@FinnLovesFood]

All were very good! Sometimes chewy sweets just really hit the spot

[@GRAHAM2109]

I've just come back from a short break in Sweden, and bought myself a box of Fazer chocolate cream mints. I had always pronounced Fazer to rhyme with Lazer. I also bought myself box of Marabou Paradis Chocolates

[@FinnLovesFood]

Hi Graham, hope you had a nice time in Sweden. On our other Fazer video we were corrected on our pronunciation. 🙂 We've seen Marabou chocolate bars at our World Market store, but haven't tried it yet.

[@GRAHAM2109]

@@FinnLovesFood The Marabou chocolate may be cheaper in an IKEA if you have one near by

[@FinnLovesFood]

@@GRAHAM2109 we stopped by our closest IKEA. No Marabou!
