I'd be glad to send you some licorice - only the postage is horrendous! Up to 250 grams is DKR. 48 = $8 and 500 grams is DKR. 72 = $12.

Then, I'm not sure what foods are allowed to send, but I guess I could write cat/dog treats on it.
Oy.... that's too much for candy! I'll find something on line, but thank you so much for the offer!

I was in Sweden from 1987 to 1988, and had a blast. They had the best pastries and candies/confections. YUM! Kokos Bullar... I remember them fondly. Some kind of spun sugar with coffee, oatmeal, coconut, covered in chocolate and coconut. YUM! Damsuggare (or whatever vacuum cleaner is in Swedish)... they were marzipan, and were chocolate on the ends and green marzipan on the middle areas. LOVE THEM!! Then there were candies with this dusty green stuff that made you make faces like EWWW.. but then you got used to the weird flavor, lol.

My favorite was still the pizza with tuna and shrimp on top. And the kebabs/gyros from the little kiosks on the street. I lived right outside of Stockholm, it was sooooo great!!!
