Then they stopped carrying it. I was delighted to see that I could order it from Amazon . I ordered a box for $22. I am so disappointed that Regal Crown changed its recipe. What used to be the best hard candy on earth is now barely edible. I would like to return it for a refund, but online Amazon says it cannot be returned. I don't understand this. It came from a company called OxKom. I have emailed them.

The customer response on Amazon seems mixed. I was hoping to get ONE roll first to test to see if they indeed were faithful to the original recipe - but $9.00 to ship a single roll? No way. I'd buy the 24-roll box no question if the taste is the same. All these people suggesting "Napoleon" this and "Jolly Rancher" that apparently have weird taste buds. I want my sour lemon candy SOUR, not with a sweet shell or sweet interior.

They were one of my favorite candies when I was a child back in the 60's. Went to a small grocery store with my 10 cents to buy a roll and could taste them even before I could get them out of the wrapper! Now that I'm older (much) they still taste great, but not like they did as a 7 year old that did not have the opportunity to have many things like candy. Glad though that they are back in my life (I ordered 12 rolls from the Vermont Candy Store)! :)Donna M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2305571058310227787.post-25434882057284229812015-10-21T08:20:55.923-04:002015-10-21T08:20:55.923-04:00They're back!
