Are you ready to graduate to the big leagues of European candy? If standard, sweet black licorice just doesn’t hit the spot anymore, it’s time to face the ultimate test: K&H Double Salt Licorice. Known natively in the Netherlands as Dubbel Zout, these infamous little treats are a rite of passage for true licorice fanatics.

Crafted by Kraepelien & Holm—the legendary Dutch confectioners perfecting recipes since 1896—these round coins mean serious business. Each piece is proudly embossed with the letters "DZ" (both a warning and a badge of honor for Dubbel Zout), delivering an intense, mouth-puckering blast of salmiak salt grounded by a deep, savory molasses and anise undertone. It’s bold, it’s bracing, and for those who love it, it is utterly irreplaceable.
