About This Candy
The Texture and Feel of Swedish Pear Salmiak Mushroom Sweets
Pear Licorice Mushroom Candy delivers a bright pear sweetness the moment the foam meets the tongue. A salty salmiak edge follows close behind and shifts the flavour in a savoury direction. The texture is pillowy and light with an airy body that compresses gently under the teeth. Each piece has a soft, yielding structure shaped like a tiny mushroom with a rounded cap. Meanwhile, the licorice paste adds a warm, earthy depth that anchors the fruity pear notes. As you chew through the foam, the pear and licorice merge into a layered sweet-and-salty blend. The aroma is concentrated pear with a dark, herbal undertone from the licorice paste. This Swedish foam mushroom keeps its flavour steady from the first bite to the last. The mouthfeel stays clean with the foam dissolving evenly and leaving no sticky residue. Overall, the pear and licorice pairing creates one of the most unexpected picks in the candy aisle.
Why This Swedish Pear Licorice Foam Candy Hits Different
These mushrooms come from Franssons Konfektyr, a family-run candy factory founded in 1965 in Gränna. Pear Licorice Mushroom Candy uses gelatin to build its signature foam structure and airy body. The green colour comes from a blend of curcumin E100 and brilliant blue E133. The darker tones use vegetable carbon E153 for a rich contrast against the green cap. Because the recipe includes both salmiak salt and real licorice paste, the salty edge is genuine. Each bag arrives packed fresh by Kandy Lover and shipped directly from Sweden. As a result, the foam stays soft and the flavour stays bold. If you enjoy mushroom-shaped candy, explore our candy collection for more picks.
