Les Anis de Flavigny Anisbonbons Rose 50 g

Let me start by saying I hate black licorice and that is created by anise seed...but these are fantastic. Slightly floral or lemon spun sugar mints with a simple clean anise seed in the middle. Love these so much and everyone that has tried them loves them too!

Yummy!

Amazing flavor. Small and hard, can't be chewed (and because of this are chocking hazards for children). But for adults these are supremely delicious candies. Try these. You won't be disappointed. By the way, while called mints, only the the actual mint flavor tastes of mint. The others taste like the flowers, fruits or seeds they're named after. (Using roses and violets to flavor food, especially candies, is common in southern Europe and the Middle East.)

These are SO amazing!!!! I originally had purchased the violet flavor, like, 13 years ago (at the England Pavilion at Epcot in Florida, of all places) but recently went back & they were nowhere to be found. I searched for them on Amazon on a whim, and sure enough! The same candies! I bought the rose flavored ones and love them as well. I love the floral taste and the anise seed in the middle. So glad I found them!

I would have preferred their not sticking a sticker on the front of the tins....which I cannot get off.

Ever since I first tasted the wonders of rose candy, I was hooked. But it was most difficult for me to find. This rose candy isn't like the kind I had first tried, but is very lovely none the less! The outside is deliciously rosey, but the center has a strong anise flavor. I do believe there is even aniseed in the very middle. But that's just fine with me, it's delicious.

I know it has been a few years since I have purchased these and if the company has gone out of business I guess I can understand. I have previously purchased a 6 pack for just a few dollars more so I imagined this had to be more than one container. I love these candies as they are one of my favs but for that price I feel like someone is trying to tell me to give up sugar!!

I am addicted to these. The rose taste/smell is not overpowering by far and is just subtle enough that having more than one in a row doesn't make my stomach sick. If you resist crunching down on them, one will last a good while before dissipating entirely, and the inner core of anise isn't so drastic of a flavor change to be negative. Overall, I really enjoy them and it's fun to be able to offer people a rose-flavored mint.
