London drops

London drops ("Lontoon rakeet" in Finnish) are a type of liquorice candy sold in Finland and Sweden first by Chymos, later by Fazer.

London drops are oblong-shaped sweets about 2 cm long and 5 mm thick. They consist of a soft liquorice-flavoured core inside a hard, sugary aniseed-flavoured coating. They are coloured in pastel colours, coming in white, pale purple and pale yellow.

Good & Plenty is a similar candy available in the United States. There is no direct equivalent of London drops in the UK now, but a liquorice-flavoured sweet called Torpedoes made by Haribo was similar.
