Walkers' Nonsuch Liquorice Toffees Jar

As a teen I was introduced to the wonderful world of Callard and Bowsers licorice toffees (and their butterscotch toffees as well). They were creamy and delicious and different from any other licorice I'd ever had. They were ever so addicting. In the 90s the company was sold and sadly in the aughts their flagship licorice toffee (as well as the butterscotch) was phased out. I'd like to meet the execs who thought that was a good idea. So my search was on for a licorice toffee that could satisfy the Callard and Bowser itch. I tried so many and was about to give up when I read someone's review here on Amazon about these walker's confections. That reviewer too had been searching for a replacement for their beloved Callards and they believed these came close. and.they.do!!! These are magnificent, craveable and addicting. I don't have and Callard and Bowsers to compare them to straight up but I can nevertheless say that my search is over. It has been a few years now since I purchased my first jar and I have yet to be disappointed. Creamy, mellow and with a perfect balance of licorice. Not too chewy. Not too hard. I've now turned so many people onto these. Even folks who claim not to live licorice seem to like these flavorful little pillows of goodness :) BOTTOM LINE: if you like mellow licorice these strike the perfect balance of flavor and texture. They're not too sweet and not salty. Callard and Bowsers if you're out there somewhere I DO miss you and your perfect little box of licorice treasures. But these Walker's make me miss you a lot less.

Nice flavor. Chewy, similar to caramel.

Let me start by saying how much I dislike black licorice 🤮, I’ve never understood how anyone could eat it by choice. In February of this year we lost a friend and at her celebration of life service there was a giant dish of this candy by Walkers, it was her favorite candy. My husband couldn’t stop eating them, so I bought this container and when it arrived I tried one, and another, and another….I was instantly hooked on this stuff! The combination of the toffee, which is soft, not crunchy and the black licorice combine to make a flavor explosion 💥! If anyone is on the fence about trying them, don’t be, it is now my favorite candy!!

I purchased two of these containers of licorice toffee. One of them had been opened! The other was still sealed. I contacted Amazon customer service and use the chat option to explain what had happened. I was able to get a refund for one of the containers, which is very fair, and the only right thing to do considering that it’s food, and food should not arrive already opened. As for the licorice, I’m convinced it is the best licorice toffee that I have found in years. I’ll have to have my husband hide it and dole out five pieces a day, otherwise I’ll eat the whole thing at once and end up in the ER, ha ha. It is THAT good.

Very tasty taffy.

for liquorice lovers these are the best!

These were hard to put down they taste so good

I eat gluten-free diet. Most licorice candy in USA has wheat flour in it. This licorice toffee has no flour and the licorice flavor is robust. My favorite licorice candy, by far.

Muy rico

Great quality

Arrived very fast and as advertised.

If you’re a liquorice/chewy candy fan, you’ll love these.

A bit addicted. And hard to find elsewhere.
