If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

It's a mild licorice flavor. I'm not big fan of black licorice, but I don't mind the mild undertone of it in horehound. Diplowmatic's description is pretty accurate.

In case anyone was wondering (because I was, so I looked it up):

Horehound candy drops, bittersweet hard candies like cough drops that are made with sugar and an extract of M. vulgare

Marrubium vulgare - white horehound or common horehound) is a flowering plant in the mint family

horehound: from Old English hoar ("white," "light-colored," as in "hoarfrost") and hune (a word of unknown origin designating a class of herbs or plants).

I like licorice, and mint, and I don't think I've ever had this before, but I'm just not sure if I'm ready for 2 lbs of it Big Grin
On the other had, I doubt it ever goes bad (though it may clump together after a long time)
And it is a deal....

Good people, gather round - we have a scholar in our midst. Listen to this erudite fellow and his sagacious utterings. Learn from him. Take his knowledge and go forth. Know thy candy lest it become a thing of ignorance. All unctions of the apothecary, no matter how foul, should become with thee like milk from thou mother's breast.

Ugh. This candy brings back unwanted memories of pre school. I think they were trying to punish us. It tastes nothing like black licorice.
