While we know we shouldn’t be having too much sugar in our diets, there’s no sense denying that it’s not delicious. In terms of God tier soda, Dr. Pepper is totally at the top; same goes with Twizzlers for candy. So what if I told you that Dr. Pepper licorice twists are a thing and you can order some right now? I know, I know—try to contain your excitement.
- The licorice twists contain actual Dr. Pepper. This isn’t just a candy that has artificial flavors of Dr. Pepper—the actual soda is part of the recipe here, so you’re going to get maximum Dr. Pepper flavor goodness. (And yes, I’m aware that Dr. Pepper is full of artificial flavors, but I don’t want a flavor of a flavor, if you get my drift.)
- It’s a unique take on a popular candy. Twizzlers are delicious on their own, but sometimes you just want a slightly different flavor. When that happens, why not combine two different things you love into one?
- Dr. Pepper was definitely the best choice. Can you imagine Sprite licorice? Diet Coke licorice? Probably not (though I’d try the Diet Coke one if someone made it). Dr. Pepper is that perfect tangy, zingy drink that translates perfectly into candy form. I’m into it.
- You get four bags per order. While one bag of Dr. Pepper licorice would be good, Amazon sells four bags together, which means there’s enough to share with your friends or colleagues… or just four bags to hog all to yourself and eat one after the other in front of some Netflix. Sounds like a good idea!
- It won’t taste exactly like the soda… If you’re expecting these licorice twists to taste like a can of Dr. Pepper, you’ll likely be disappointed. It’s impossible to get the full experience of the soda without it being soda. However, if it’s the overall flavor you enjoy and want to try in a different form, you’re in luck.
