We all know someone with a penchant for licorice, and father of two Mat, tells us just why Panda Licorice beats eggs hands down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my professional role of product testing for Chopsy Dads, and having a major sweet tooth, I eagerly stepped forward to test these out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1973\" title=\"5\" src=\"http:\/\/chopsybaby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/5.gif\" alt=\"5\" width=\"300\" height=\"241\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn&#8217;t let down either. As I opened the first pack and smelled the sweet aroma of licorice, my mouth watered. Even more so as I know I&#8217;m the only one here that likes it so knew it was all mine mwaaaahaaaaa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course the inevitable happened when Chopsy tester Sid, came begging for some. I gave him\u00a0 one bear shaped piece of licorice, which he shouted Dare at &#8211;\u00a0 his word for bear. He bit into his piece then started spitting it as if he was in the wild west and chewing\u00a0 spitting tobacco. As this was his first\u00a0real taste of licorice this didn&#8217;t really surprise me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter cleaning his mess up, with several pieces of bear shaped goodies in my mouth, I got back to opening the other packs before I ate the whole bag at once.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1974\" title=\"2\" src=\"http:\/\/chopsybaby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/2.gif\" alt=\"2\" width=\"300\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chopsybaby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/2.gif 300w, https:\/\/chopsybaby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/2-252x300.gif 252w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was shocked to find that I loved the licorice filled with either mint, lemon and raspberry. I started to find the raspberry one which was nice, if not a little sickly. Though this could now be from licorice overload!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNext, I got stuck into the bag of original licorice, similar to the teddy bear shaped ones but made so us big kids wouldn&#8217;t get funny looks while eating them on the bus to and from work!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStarting to feel a little sick I finally opened the bag of licorice mix. My mouth started to water once again as I found something that resembled one of my childhood favourites &#8211; the licorice torpedo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI picked one up and instantly had a childhood flashback about being sent to the headmasters office for being naughty. Then I found a sweet I had never seen before, it had the same shell as a torpedo but was round! I popped it into my mouth and bit down expecting to find a solid lump of licorice and to my amazement\u00a0I found chocolate covered licorice what made me grab a few more pieces.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1975\" title=\"8\" src=\"http:\/\/chopsybaby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/8.gif\" alt=\"8\" width=\"300\" height=\"156\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter all of this tasting I decided that\u00a0 I needed a well deserved lie down as the sugary treats had got the better of me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThough they made me feel very sick, probably due to eating too much at once, the chocolate one was so moorish they should sell them in sack loads.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chopsy Baby recommended Panda Licorice, as an alternative to a chocolate egg this Easter.
