Djungelvrål candies are reminiscent of jungle creatures and are crafted from salty licorice, adorned with a subtle dusting of ammonia salt. Upon tasting, one experiences an intense explosion of flavor, followed by the swift dissipation of the salty exterior to reveal the chewy licorice within. This transition leads to a milder, sweeter essence that complements the initial burst. Unlike many other licorice candies, Djungelvrål’s creamy zest embodies a more subdued sweetness, reminiscent of the root flavors of licorice.
The packaging of Djungelvrål candies by Malaco is visually striking, with vibrant red and yellow hues. A playful monkey adorns the front, gripping a branch with all limbs while emitting a wide-mouthed roar of delight. With closed eyes, the monkey appears to relish the experience. A transparent corner on the packet provides a glimpse of the monkey-shaped candies inside, adding to the whimsical appeal.
The name “Djungelvrål,” translating to “jungle roar” in English, humorously captures the facial expressions often elicited by these candies, particularly upon first taste. Loved by licorice enthusiasts worldwide, these eccentric jungle-themed treats surprisingly pair well with a refreshing glass of cold milk.
