BUBS Raspberry Salty Licorice Skull

The Texture and Feel of the Original Salty Licorice Skull

BUBS Raspberry Salty Licorice Skull opens with a bright raspberry sweetness from the pink half that meets the tongue first. The body is a firm wine gum with a dense, satisfying chew that holds its shape longer than foam. Each skull splits into two halves with raspberry on top and bold salmiak licorice on the bottom. The licorice half delivers a sharp, salty punch from the ammonium chloride and real licorice extract. Meanwhile, the cornstarch base creates a compact chew that snaps cleanly rather than stretching. As you work both halves together, the sweet raspberry and salty licorice lock into one layered bite. The aroma is concentrated berry with a deep, earthy licorice note rising from the dark half underneath. This salty licorice skull is one of Sweden’s best-selling candy pieces of all time. The mouthfeel stays firm and glossy with a smooth carnauba wax coating that keeps each piece separate. Overall, the original wine gum body and bold salmiak kick make this the skull that started an entire candy movement.

Why This Raspberry Licorice Candy Hits Different

These skulls come from BUBS, the Swedish candy brand that launched the Hallon Lakrits Skalle and built a global following around it. BUBS Raspberry Salty Licorice Skull uses all natural colours from black carrot, vegetable carbon and curcumin with no synthetic dyes. The Fairtrade certified sugar adds an ethical edge that matches the quality of the candy itself. Because the 50/50 sweet-salty split is perfectly balanced, this skull works as a gateway into Nordic salmiak for curious newcomers. Each bag arrives packed fresh by Kandy Lover and shipped directly from Sweden. As a result, the raspberry stays bright and the salmiak stays bold on arrival. If you prefer a softer chew, try BUBS Raspberry Licorice Foam Skull for the lighter foam version. Furthermore, explore more picks in our candy collection.
