Salty licorice for the win!
Guys, Icelandic licorice is amazing! Let me start by saying, I hate licorice in America. You’ll never find me noshing on a Twizzler and everyone knows that black jelly beans are the worst. But Scandinavians love their licorice, and it’s a totally different ball game in countries like Iceland. First off, it’s salty, and in this case was coated in chocolate.
I bought this stuff in a gas station, and it was the bomb. I’ve since tried fancier Scandi chocolate from the fancy Lakrids shop in Copenhagen, but for my money, this weird little bag of Icelandic licorice was the best. I wish I could get my hands on some of it, so if you go to Iceland, don’t miss your chance!
