Well there I was, after an attack of the munchies, chomping on RJ very soft licorice and I got to wondering whether NZ have similar soft stuff when I looked on the back of the packet to find out it comes form NZ in the first place :clap
Am hoping that if they can send it all the way to the UK that they will keep a few bags in NZ as well?

RJ soft licorice made in Levin

Somewhere in the depths of my mind I thought licorice is quite big in NZ and OH has just confirmed it!! He doesn't eat it much over here but gets a bit nostalgic about what he used to eat 'back home'!! He's just rattled off a few brands (and he hasn't lived there for years). So unless things have changed I'm sure there'll be some for you over there. :clap

You can get the soft eating Licorice in several different flavours....the same stuff they import and sell in Lakeland in UK. I was going to post a link, but the Lakeland website has removed the pictures of the packaging. You can even get really huge bags of the stuff.

[k-k]

The factory is indeed in Levin (about 100k north of Wellington) and they export the stuff to the UK and US. Have a look at their website for their list of products. It's sold pretty much everywhere around here.

Have you tried the RJ's Chocolate Logs?
A thin cylinder of chocolate wrapped in licorice. There are three flavours: chocolate with regular black licorice, chocolate with rasberry licorice and my favourite - white chocolate with strawberry licorice. Yum.

Hhmm liquorice. We have a woman that comes around at work, usually about every 3 months, with liquorice in "all sorts" of flavours. :uhoh. You can get it in big sheets, mixed flavour, one flavour. Mouth watering at the thought.

You can get them almost anywhere - supermarkets in the confectionary aisle, dairies, the Warehouse... if you're greedy like me you can also buy them in multi-packs of three!

mmm RJ's chocolate logs... that's what I'll be picking up on my way home from work today.

Well, I live about 1/2 mile from the RJs factory in Levin, and run or drive past it frequently, and I can tell you the smell is superb, makes me run/drive slower just to get the aroma. There is a factory shop, for those wishing to sample their full range.....

I bought my first Chocolate Logs in Victoria market, Auckland whilst on holiday in january.They are so, so nice.

I did bring some back to the U.K. and when they had all gone I was pleasantly surprised to find them on sale in our local farm shop in Devon. Bliss.

We used to visit Bassetts factory shop years ago and you could buy a box of 'bits', a bit of everything
