SweetGourmetSpice Drops Candy, Old-Fashioned Gumdrops, 6 Flavors Jelly Candy, 2.5 Pound

First time to buy this brand and they are wonderful. Soft and the flavors are truly the spice flavors I remember as a kid. I see other reviews say basically it is hit or miss with spice taste and freshness, I will buy them again and keep my fingers crossed that my review holds up for the next purchase. I also bought a different brand at the same time i purchased these to compare and they too were as good as these but these were at a cheaper price point.

Good

I’ve enjoyed these Spice Drops regularly over the past year, but my last three purchases (2.5 pound bags each) were a huge disappointment. The texture was off, and several flavors tasted noticeably different. It seems like the recipe or manufacturing process has changed, and not for the better.I tried contacting the company twice through their website—no reply. Their phone voicemail is full, and their website social media links are broken. I even went as far as returning all three bags directly to their listed address, which was received and signed for by the CEO. Still, no response.These used to be a favorite treat. Sadly, both the product and customer service have gone downhill. I won’t be buying again.

The flavors in each drop are intense, and true to original flavors. I love these a ton, and will definitely buy again.

It seems like every local store has stopped carrying spice drops so I turned my search online. I read plenty of reviews of plenty of products and landed on this one. And I am half happy with my choice. These spice drops offer the classic flavors I am looking for and they taste great. But they do not offer the classic "mouth feel"/solidity/consistency that I am also craving. They are nice and fresh; for sure, but they are also way too soft. They practically disintegrate in your mouth and lack that firm chewiness that I want in a spice drop/gum drop. Not everyone will care about this, but I do. I like to actually just suck on the spice drops for as long as possible before I chew them...and these are not good for that. For me, these are a 3 star item, but I am looking for a certain thing that others might not be looking for...so I gave them a 4 star rating overall. These could even be a 5 star if you are looking for nice flavor and a sort of "melt in your mouth" consistency. The experience I have eating them reminds me of that old, jelly candy called "Chuckles" and I am not looking for that. I am looking for a classic, almost rubbery, gum drop. I enjoy these for what they offer but they do not meet my spice drop needs.

I've read a lot of reviews about this type of candy and most are not good. THIS PRODUCT, HOWEV ER, IS EXCELLENT. All of the individual space flavors are there and they are great! I even like the purple ones which are always, traditionally, anise or licorice and these are very good. So, those of you looking for traditional flavors like these (spice) give these a try -- I think you'll be pleased! (I know I was!)

I buy these every couple months the delivery was very delayed. Product was great . Just wish delivery would be on time

Delicious!
