RJ's Natural Soft Eating Raspberry Licorice 7.05 Ounces (Pack of 5)

I’m trying to eat healthier, but I’ve learned that completely denying my sweet tooth never works, and denying my sweet tooth includes trying to eat gross healthy versions of snacks that taste like cardboard. This is a good compromise. As far as candies go, this is about as healthy as you can get, and it still tastes amazing. I tried the mango flavored too, and it’s good, but raspberry is by far my favorite.

Not sure what is up with this batch but it lacked flavor and had a hard waxy consistency.

I got a batch that was hard as a rock even though it was well within date. I had also ordered the mango flavor from a different seller but exact same brand and it was excellent, soft and delicious. So somewhere along the way during processing a hard batch of raspberry got through QA. I contacted the company and they gave me a refund for the raspberry ones. Amazon doesn't offer return on this item but the licorice company can do it from their end. They were excellent and promptly took care of me. Will buy again!

No problems

These are very hard and difficult to chew. Flavor is equal to plastic.

I used to love these. So tasty, so soft. I'd get them and hide them so I wouldn't have to share. But the last few bags I've bought -- over a period of months -- have been hard and covered in a white crust I guess is from the sugar. It's like my local WFs has had the same lot in stock for way too long. I won't buy again, at least not delivered. Maybe if I can get to the store and squeeze the bag to see if they're soft ... but I don't have a lot of faith.

Just the right firmness, flavor & sweetness. Have tried the black licorice which is great too.

OMG - my life changed as I ran into the store to stock up for a weekend road trip. Saw these on a whim, bought 2 bags and ate one of them in just a few hours. That sadly hasn't changed much and I go through several of these a week. When I purchase this from the grocery, it's usually fresh and chewy but doesn't give a stale texture. Those were purchased online from amazon and you can tell they've been sitting around for a while. It didn't stop me from indulging, but my jaw is a bit sore. If anyone at RJ's is reading this, I'm happy to take any surplus so they don't go stale :)
