Product Information

Licorice pipes are a nostalgic and whimsical candy that captures the imagination with their distinctive shape and licorice flavor. These iconic candies, shaped like tobacco pipes, have a rich history that spans several decades. Let's delve into the origins and evolution of licorice pipes.

The Liquorice Festival also takes place each year in Copenhagen, and attracts an impressive number of attendees. Danes have a deep rooted affinity for liquorice, or ‘ lakrids’, which for large numbers in other countries is a delicacy they love to hate.In January 2010, displaying licorice pipes for sale in stores was banned in Norway. [2] In August 2013, licorice pipes again made headlines because of a forthcoming EU directive on tobacco prevention, with the potential of a ban which could affect the sale of sweets and toys imitating tobacco products. [3] The licorice pipe then went clear of the ban. These candies gained popularity due to their unique shape, which often sparked imaginative play among children. Kids could pretend to be grown-ups by "smoking" the licorice pipes, adding an element of fun to the candy-eating experience. Today, licorice pipes remain a popular treat, particularly among those who enjoy licorice flavors and appreciate the whimsy associated with their shape. Whether enjoyed by nostalgic adults or introduced to a new generation of candy enthusiasts, licorice pipes offer a playful and flavorful candy experience. That’s an easy one – they’re delicious! We love the mix of traditional flavours contained in these, soft, squidgy and yummy and of course with plenty of those fabby Spogs (Aniseed Buttons).

Licorice pipes are typically made from a blend of licorice extract, sugar, and other ingredients to achieve their distinct flavor and texture. The candies are molded into the shape of a tobacco pipe, complete with a hollow stem and a bowl at the top. The first known licorice pipe ( Finnish: lakupiippu) was manufactured as early as the 1920s at the Heikki Huhtamäki factory in Kokkola, Finland. [1] Many restaurants use liquorice in marinades, or sauté in liquorice oil, to add depth to meat dishes. In Scandinavian households, it is used as a spice, powder and syrup.
