Title: Would I buy again or recommend? Sorry, no.
Review: The bag of Gustaf’s Allsorts Gourmet English Licorice I received was a huge disappointment in both bag received and lack of freshness.First, the 6.3oz bag I received is not the same as the bag shown on here which has on it an assortment of 10 different candies that is typical for Allsorts. Instead, the bag I received shows only 8 different candies on it, and then inside the bag there was only 5 different candies. The bag contained 25 pieces consisting of only 8 pink layers, 7 yellow layers, 1 brown layer, 5 yellow coconut rolls, 4 pink sprinkles jelly buttons. So there were no plain licorice twists, no white five layers, and no cream-filled licorice rolls(my fav!) that is on the advertised bag.Second, the bag I received was within the best buy date but they certainly seemed old and stale. They do not have the soft smooth texture that Allsorts should have and instead are dry/crumbly, several of the layered candies separated from the licorice, and the licorice was hard and tasted awful!So, would I buy again or recommend? Sorry, no.

Title: Old & Stale Tasting
Review: Purchased two bags of the gourmet English licorice, and both bags were awful. Even though the expiration dates were in 2026, the licorice was hard and stale. After trying a few pieces from each bag, we tossed both bags into the trash. However, we give Amazon credit for giving us a complete reunion and without a fuss. We love this licorice candy, but it should be fresh, soft and delicious to taste. Guess we will have to wait until we are back in London again.

Title: Perfect
Review: My mother-in-love adores this candy of her youth growing up in England. We added this to her birthday care package. The perfect size for a treat but not too much. Thank you.
