Why you need this in your life
- Been to Iceland? One bite and you're back. Cheaper than the flight.
- Not a liquorice person? This one's mild. Try one. We'll wait.
- Each piece is wrapped, so sharing is possible. Not likely, but possible.
- One piece after a hard day. Two after a harder one.
- Fair warning: highly addictive.
Details
The bag every Icelander grew up on — and the one visitors ship home after the trip. Wrapped minis you can ration, in theory.
Bite-size milk-chocolate bars with a soft caramel centre and tiny flecks of mild liquorice. The chocolate snaps, the caramel gives, then a gentle liquorice echo arrives — more pastry-shop than salty punch. If you think you don't like liquorice, this is the one that changes minds; if you already do, welcome home.
Þristur means "three" — chocolate, caramel, liquorice — and every Icelandic household has a bag somewhere. Made by Sambó, the Icelandic liquorice makers, and individually wrapped so a bag lasts (in theory).
Good to know: 220 g bag of individually wrapped minis · milk chocolate 24%, caramel 62%, liquorice 14% · contains milk and wheat (gluten); may contain other allergens — always check the pack · keep cool and dry.
How people buy it: Icelanders abroad order 10 and 20 bags at a time (that's why those options exist). It's the top pick for our gift boxes and the sneaky favourite chopped into brownies and cookies.
Ships from our family warehouse in Hafnarfjörður · free shipping over $200 to the US, Canada & Europe.

Shipping & returns
Shipping — DHL Express or Iceland Post, tracked. Rates & times
US, Canada & EU duties — collected at checkout; nothing to pay on delivery. How it works
Returns — food can't be returned. If we made a mistake, or something arrives faulty, we put it right. Chocolate can melt on the way: melted food is only refunded with Shipping protection, added in the cart. See our refund policy.
Questions & answers
Is the liquorice strong?
No. Þristur sits at the mild end of Icelandic liquorice — a whisper inside soft caramel, toffee and milk chocolate, more pastry-shop than salty. It is the bag we hand to anyone who says they don't like liquorice; most of them order it again.
Will I pay duties or customs on delivery?
Not in the US, Canada or the EU — duties and taxes are settled at checkout, so nothing is owed at the door. For other destinations, any local import charges are collected by the courier on delivery.
Does chocolate ship well in summer?
It can soften or melt in warm months. We do not refund melted chocolate unless you add Shipping protection in the cart (terms of service, sections 9 and 10). If it arrives soft, an hour in the fridge firms it up again.
Does it contain gluten or nuts?
It contains milk and wheat (gluten) and may contain traces of other allergens. If you have a serious allergy, please check the allergen statement printed on the pack.
Why 10 and 20 bags?
Because one bag is never enough. The bigger packs bring the price per bag down, and orders over $200 ship free to the US, Canada and Europe.

I discovered this on a trip to Iceland and there is nothing like it in the US.
Great black licorice chocolate, mild enough for kids to enjoy, and the 10 bag pack is great to share with extended family.
I love these sweets, they are delicious and very moreish. If you like licorice you will love them.
