There are Danish candies from Tom's Bonbon that have deliberately disgusting names, such as Seagull splat.
This stuff is pretty good too. https://smile.amazon.com/YumEarth-Organic-Gluten-Licorice-Black/dp/B00X5YZIRS?sa-no-redirect=1&th=1
Looking at the Amazon US site, if you're not familiar with the different types of Finnish salmiakki, there's a 4-pack that would let you try different types:4 Boxes X 38g of Fazer Super Salmiakki Mix ((2) salmiakki - (1) super salmiakki - (1) pantteri) Original Finnish Salty Licorice
The "Fazer Ässä Salmiakki" is a sweet salmiakki, not as bitter if you don't like that.
Also great are the "Fazer Tyrkisk Peber"
I find them addictive, and they have a great burning sensation from the ammonium chloride (Latin sal ammoniacus, from which the name salmiakki comes)
Be warned though, it's an acquired taste and very different from North American candies:
Americans Try Finnish Candy: Tyrkisk Peber Turkinpippuri Salmiakki
If you're ever in Finland, definitely try Apteekin salmiakki, and the Fazer salmiakki ice-cream!
How long ago were you a kid? Five years? Twenty?
When you say a sweetart filling, was it a hard powdery candy? Or a chewy, soft candy?
There are lots of filled Twizzlers out now, and there was/possibly still is a filled chewy Jolly Rancher as well.
Even though they weren't blue, the bag was blue and this was out about ten years ago. They were called Twerpz (I miss them).
Also here are SweeTarts Ropes
Here are the Jolly Ranchers Twosome Chews
Fini's Collisions are another type of filled licorice
And here is an excellent blog post with licorice tagged that goes over lots of international variations of the "Filled licorice" category of candy :)
Also, was this in the US?
Thanks!
This one? I have a bag of that right now, sitting on my kitchen counter!
There is a small European import store in my town which carries it. Unfortunately no Finnish ones, which I do like a little bit more than the dubbel zout.
edit: I have just been informed by my wife that I do not have it on the kitchen counter anymore. Apparently it was on the table, and one of my cats thought that it would be good times to knock over the open bag and spill them everywhere.
My reaction to the things you mentioned
All that stuff is baby licorice where I'm from.

I think we have german, danish, finnish and swedish licorice represented here.
Anyways! Please tell me which ones you get and then get back to me after you've tried them and tell me what you think. I'm super curious about your experience and how you'll find REAL licorice rather than that kids stuff you've been eating.
Looks similar to what I tried while over there.
These [twizzlers] (https://www.amazon.com/Twizzlers-TWIZZLERS-Twists-Strawberry-105-Count/dp/B00X3GA1PC/ref=sr_1_102_s_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1473724361&sr=1-102&keywords=Bulk+candy&refinements=p_36%3A698503011) are 5 cents each. Get 5 boxes of 105 count for about 500 ($25).
These [smarties] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B004CHACSM/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new) are about 7 cents per individually wrapped roll. Get the $18 pack for 250 more pieces of candy. (Now you're at 750 pieces for $43 and free shipping on the options I saw!)
Then here's the great deal: [these individually wrapped lifesavers are about 2.5 cents per piece!!] (https://www.amazon.com/Lifesavers-Hard-Candy-Five-Flavor/dp/B00IDQX5VO/ref=sr_1_185_s_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1473725058&sr=1-185&keywords=Bulk+candy&refinements=p_36%3A698503011) Add these in for $7 and you've got 1058 pieces for approximately $50 and free shipping!
So any combo of these prices and you'll be in good shape. I don't think my mom even remembers much nickel-per-piece and under candies! :)
Then I am partial to chocolate so here's a good one: [these are about 5.4 cents per piece and it mentions a 20 percent off coupon!] (https://www.amazon.com/HERSHEYS-Halloween-Assortment-48-Ounce-Pieces/dp/B00I1MRX0E/ref=sr_1_52_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1473726034&sr=1-52&keywords=Bulk+candy)
Also, search for bulk bit-o-honey because they are good and they are on the site for about 7 cents per.
All the noms
Salted licorice is kind of a 'you love it or you hate it' thing, but I think it's wonderful. Sixteen92 Black Annis from two falls ago had a salmiakki vibe to it, but that's as close as I've found. This brand is from my home town and I definitely recommend it, but if you're trying salted licorice for the first time, don't go with the double salted. It'll knock you on your butt with how salty it is.
Not my recipe but I picked up a kit for a salted black porter from a local brewery (Field House brewing). The beer uses salty dutch licorice. I saw what they were using and added a full roll of Klene zoute drop. I was a bit worried about what the ammonium chloride would end up like but it's one of my favorites in the cellar. I call it the dubbel zout porter now.
You can find this in Northern Europe, Germany and Turkey. I've seen some in Finland and Denmark. They go by other names. This picture is the Danish one. It's essentially Turkish pepper aka a kind of licorice. You might have a better chance with the English name. FAZER is a Finnish company.

Congrats on the soda thing! I've been trying to stop as well, but caffeine.....it's an addiction
I'm glad to hear you're eating healthier though! I'm trying (and failing to do the same)
And I'm sorry about your mom's boyfriend! I hope he get's better (:
Mais um como eu! Encomenda Salmiakki da próxima vez que usares a amazon.co.uk, vais adorar ;)
Edit, link.
Don't think I picked up the right item because whatever I did was so salty it was crazy. I like salt, but this was beyond my palate!
Turns out zout means salt...
My husband bought them in this packaging for my birthday..just what I wanted! Amazon also has the Gimbals packaging.

This is a great add on if you're ordering other stuff. And a great flavor, too.
If not, this is another great flavor and prime eligible.
German cat ear candies are terrifying...
I THINK I've had these coffee candies before, and if these are them, they're really good.
These are Quite Interesting :D
Thank you for the contest<3
Were you looking for salty licorice or just chocolate etc.? These are very much like Merkkari:
