ClaeysSanded Candy Drops, Cinnamon, 2 Pound

BEST ONE FOR FLAVOR!!!!!!!I enjoy horehound flavor but most candies are out of ratio with their product. This one is excellent.

Love these cinnamon candies. Great price & quick shipping.

These are exactly the same as the ones that I had when I was a kid. For me, when I was younger, I probably liked a few other candies better. The "horehound" was a candy that had more of an "acquired taste". Maybe it was the years of taste denied, the lost but now found but when I saw these on Amazon, the craving began. I didn't order them the first time I saw them online but I did put them on my wish list. Then the craving started to build a little, day by day. After about a week, I succumbed and place the order. They arrived in a heavy plastic Ziploc baggie and were fresh and whole and in good shape. Best of all, they taste absolutely mouth watering delicious. Apparently, the older I get, the more I like them. I am about half way thru the stash and as each day goes by, I still have the same cravings for them as day one. Most likely I will be ordering more. Like most things in life, I expect that as I over indulged, my cravings will lessen but so far, I have not reached that point. For those out there that remember this hard candy fondly, I would highly recommend this. For the younger generation and for those that have never tasted the horehound candy, I would warn that these have a bit of a bitter sweet taste and is not for everyone.......like I mentioned, for some people these do fall in the category of "acquired taste". For those though, that might still harbor that small craving that percolates within themselves, I would say go for it......these are the real deal.

Delicious

Thanks for the cinnamon candy. We loved them

Great quality and price ! Larger than expected

I love horehound and being able to get a big bag is great

I like hard candy, and finding other than the standard butterscotch disks or starlight mints can be difficult at times. I wanted to create a mixed assortment of flavors that was similar to spice Gum Drops, so I bought 7 flavors of the Claey's candies. Here are my opinions on each flavor:• Licorice- This is okay, but I consider myself a Licorice "Connoisseur" and the flavor isn't deep enough for my liking. If I were interested in licorice flavor alone, I'd buy another brand, even if it wasn't a hard candy.• Clove- This is AMAZING, and I would definitely buy it again. The flavor is very distinct and is "spot-on" to what I think Cloves taste and smell like.• Anise- Sometimes substituted for Licorice, it's interesting to compare and contrast this against the actual Licorice flavor. This didn't taste all that interesting to me, and seemed even less flavorful than the Licorice. I won't buy it again. Although it doesn't seem to add much to my spice assortment, it doesn't distract from it either.• Peppermint- Although it's easy to find peppermint hard candy, this one is really good, and complements my "spice mix" very well. Would definitely buy again.• Cinnamon- It's getting really hard to find good Cinnamon hard candy, especially after Jolly Rancher's Fire Kisses were discontinued. This is a pretty good replacement for those, but has a different mouth feel. I would buy again. Nice addition to my spice mix.• Sassafras- Wow. So, good. It's an unusual flavor, but it somewhat citrus-like, and complements the other flavors very well. I'd definitely buy again.• Horehound- Meh. I wasn't as familiar with this flavor when I decided it seemed "old-timey" and would complement my "mix" of flavors. I could do without it. I don't hate it, but it's not something I'd buy again.One thing I find odd is that Claey's can't find more distinct colors to make it easier to tell which candy is which flavor. There are two basic shapes that I call "footballs" and tube-like "cylinders." (See picture.) You can see how close all the red and pink flavors are, and it's pretty hard to tell them apart. Mixed together in a bowl, the 7 flavors mostly appear black, red, and orange.I have not tried any of the fruit flavors, but I think these candies are a real hit. I highly recommend.
