Question 1

How strong is the salmiak flavor in these dates?

Accepted Answer

The salmiak hits immediately and holds its intensity throughout the entire chew. These salty licorice date bites deliver a genuine Nordic saltlakrits experience, not a toned-down licorice-light version. The ammonium chloride sting builds as you chew and the 1.5% licorice powder adds an earthy depth beneath the salt. If you enjoy Scandinavian salmiak candy, these deliver at a similar intensity level with the added benefit of natural date sweetness.

Question 2

How does this compare to the other Dave & Jon's flavors?

Accepted Answer

This Swedish salmiak flavored date candy stands apart by using only four ingredients compared to five or six in the Fizzy Bottle and Strawberry Milkshake versions. The flavor profile shifts from sweet and fruity to bold, salty, and bitter. There is no chicory root fiber, no acidity regulator, and no generic flavoring listed because the salmiak and licorice powder provide all the flavor directly. The result tastes more like an adult candy than a fruit snack.

Question 3

Can I build a Dave & Jon's tasting set with these?

Accepted Answer

Use the Kandy Lover builder to pair them with Fizzy Bottle Date Bites and Strawberry Milkshake Date Bites for a three-flavor date candy tasting covering salty, sour, and sweet. Free shipping on every order makes it easy to build the perfect gift set.

Question 4

What does the first bite actually feel like?

Accepted Answer

You pull a dark, dusted date bite from the pack and the licorice scent hits before it reaches your mouth. The salmiak lands first with a sharp, salty sting that spreads across the tongue. Then your teeth sink into the dense, sticky center and the sweet date caramel rolls in to soften the salt. The licorice stays in the background, earthy and warm. It tastes like someone wrapped a piece of saltlakrits inside a caramel date. Contact support@kandylover.com for pairing ideas.

Question 5

What allergens should I know about before ordering?

Accepted Answer

The ingredient list contains only four items with no major allergens declared in the recipe itself. However, the packaging states the product may contain traces of peanuts, nuts, milk, wheat, and soy from the production environment. The product may also contain single date pits or pit fragments. The salmiak contains ammonium chloride, which some individuals may be sensitive to. Browse our full Swedish treats range for more options.
