Jelly Belly Licorice Pastels Candy - 1 Pound (16 Ounces) Resealable Bag - Genuine, Official, Straight from the Source

These licorice candies are as good as ever, even though they now come in a larger shape.

They are larger but they taste great and the inside liquorish is soft and like the really expensive kind from England. I will get these again. Please sell them in supermarkets !!!!!!!

These are no longer true licorice pastels. These are just black jelly beans with a hard shell. Terrible and gross

You people should be arrested for drug dealing! This stuff is shamelessly addictive!! I was never a big fan of Good N' Plenty as the licorice seemed to taste "different" and it was a little difficult to chew. These Jelly Belly candies have a perfect candy coating to licorice ratio. Just the right crunch and chew and they are literally mouthwateringly good. I ordered them yesterday, they came today and I'm pretty sure they'll gone before tomorrow. Unlike some reviewers, ours came in official Jelly Belly packaging. I have to keep pausing as I write because I can't keep my hand out of the bag. I also like the assortment of colors. There's the good ol' pink sand white as well as a vvariety of colors which make them more appealing rather than boring. This will not be my last bag! I would give them a 99.9 rating. Why not 100? On their own they are worth 100. However, what I thought was coming was a "bridge MIX" of the different candies shown on the bag and in the ad. I thought that would be awesome! So, I was a little bummed.A "mix" sounds like an assortment. Like a Brach's chocolate bridge mix isn't just bunch of raisins with chocolate on them, ya know? At first I was like, maaaaan, I should just send these back but then I tasted them. End of story, I have to close these up so there'll still be few when my son gets home. My wife and I have put a hurting on this bag. End note: if you don't already, you should do a real mix of the pictured candies!!

Basically a fat version of the old thin ones.Without the old ones to compare, going off memory. I think the licorice to candy is about the same. The coating being thicker, makes it seem softer...likely is. Licorice is a huge thing.The licorice seems to have a stronger taste....but then it might be like eating three of the old ones at one time....and I tend to eat them one at a time.....Overall, I like them....but it's different too. If I had a choice, I would prefer the thinner ones. I'm guessing for manufacturing equipment reasons, it's more comparable with their jelly bean machines.

I love these candies

I ate them all and didn't die, so they must be OK.

Jelly Belly has changed their licorice pastels. They look and taste much like Good and Plenty licorice pastels to me. A slightly more licorice flavor but not much. For the money just buy Good and Plenty licorice pastels I am really disappointed.
