Throat Balm Caramel

this is like a less sweet version of werthers and really coats and soothes throat. my husband been eating too much of the other ones that contain menthol and it dried out/irritated his throat further. this one actually works in aiding that problem!! it tastes so good!!!!!

My husband and I have gotten pretty bad about having conversations from opposite ends of the house, and it’s wearing on my throat and voice. I’ve never been a fan of cough drops — except for Luden’s wild cherry 😋 — bc I absolutely loathe menthol; they’re always way too strong for me: it’s like eating Vick’s Vapor Rub! I was tickled when I found these: Ricola is a trusted brand, and caramel & real honey cough drops!? Yes, please! When they arrived I opened one right away and the second it was in my mouth, I panicked. I looked at the bag and there it was: peppermint. I’m normally very thorough about reading the details, but it’s actually good that I wasn’t thorough with these, bc I love them! The caramel & honey are delicious, and they downplay the mint really well. I have NEVER finished a cough drop that contained peppermint or menthol before: I’ve had 4 of these in 4 hours! I was surprised by how much better my throat felt after the 1st one; it felt like I’d had a cup of herbal tea w/a lot of honey. After the shock of mint wore off, I realized that the caramel flavor was really good: also, I began to notice that the achy, scratchy parts of my throat were beginning to feel better. My favorite part is the honey center, which is ‘licious of course, but I could feel it coating the irritated parts of my throat. Another thing I loved about these is their size: I have a very small mouth, and these don’t take up too much real estate: they’re less than an inch long. “Throat Balm” is a great descriptor for these lil’ helpers: also, they’re gluten-free and vegetarian.

Love these !! They really sooth your throat And taste wonderful.

These Ricola Throat Balm Caramel drops are incredibly soothing. The caramel flavor is warm and comforting, and the liquid center really helps coat and protect my throat when it feels dry or irritated. They work quickly without being too strong or medicinal-tasting. I especially like that they last a long time and provide steady relief, making them great for talking, singing, or getting through a long day. The quality you expect from Ricola is definitely there. I always keep these on hand—they’re gentle, effective, and taste great too.

The throat drops are effective and I like that they are rounded, not just hunks of Ricola candy chopped in 1" lengths. Very difficult to open the little pouches in which they are encased.

Always excellent - if you love caramel flavor like I do, you'll love these!! Yummy liquid center, too! They aren't in the stores here. This is the only place I've seen them - just wish the price was better. They cost more for less in the pkg, than the other Ricola flavors. Always love the better ingredients in the Ricola drops - have used them for a couple of decades. They work great!

I picked up a free sample of these in the teacher’s lounge and honestly thought, “a caramel cough drop? That sounds kind of gross.” But when I got sick, I decided to give one a try—and wow, I was completely surprised! They taste amazing and actually helped soothe my sore throat almost immediately. I ended up going straight to Amazon to order more because I liked them that much. My only “complaint” is that they’re so good it’s hard not to keep reaching for more—I have to remind myself they’re cough drops, not candy!

These are great. Very smooth and really helped my throat while I have been sick.
