Svenskjävlar! (Swedish Bastards)
I was excited to try these as I love sweet salty candy. However, I took one bite and got sick to my stomach. It tasted like bleach and salt so unfortunately threw the whole container away
Let’s get this out of the way: these are, in fact, the world’s saltiest candy. They aren’t lying. So if you order them and then give a bad review because “the world’s saltiest candy” is TOO SALTY, please show yourself out.
Now for the rest of us: I *LOVE* salmiakki. I adore salted licorice and my friends bring it to me from all over the world. This? This stands alone as the most intense, most insane, most incredible salmiakki I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I crave it at least once a week and need to order more because I’m worried I will run out. If this is your thing, you will love it. If it’s not your thing, that’s fine—you might enjoy the chocolate licorice that is equally delicious but much more gentle! Just don’t get mad that it does what it says on the tin.
I tried half a piece and every salivary gland in my mouth reacted as one in an attempt to flood the saltiness away. The salmiak flavor is obviously strong in addition to the saltiness, giving a sort of dead wet dog flavor (individual perceptions of salmiak will vary). The sweetness of the licorice itself doesn't quite balance it out, but it's almost there. I'll probably brush most of the salmiak off of the outside of the next one I try, to focus more on the licorice and cream than the physical reaction to the initial contact with the coating.
My particular container is experiencing the same moisture issue another reviewer mentioned, unfortunately, so I'm knocking a star off for that.
Other than the moisture concern this is absolutely incredible and lives up to the name, I'm going to make all my friends and family try some.
Way too salty! Yes, it said World’s saltiest and I don’t doubt that. But to me, not edible and I tossed it.
Way too salty
