There is absolutely no such thing as no such thing as bad candy. There is only good, better and best.

I love these! In my opinion one of the better English candies. I mean if you want really good chocolates, you go to Switzerland, Germany, or Belgium!

Nowadays, it seems, many companies around the World produce licorice allsorts in addition to Barretts in the U.K. and they all taste a little different.
From their web site:
The Original Allsorts.
In 1899, when accident-prone Salesman Charlie Thompson tripped up, he mixed up all the different sweets he was carrying, creating the weird and wonderful mix of sweets that we know and love today as Maynards Bassetts Liquorice Allsorts. Just as delicious as ever, our luscious Liquorice Allsorts are made only with natural colours & flavours.
