Monkey-shaped sweets rarely take flavour this seriously, but Katja Dutch Licorice Apekoppen Monkey Heads Banana and Licorice bring together two Dutch favourites in one quirky lolly. Each piece has a black liquorice head and yellow banana snout, creating the cheeky monkey face behind the Apekoppen name. The 500g bag contains plenty for sharing, filling lolly bowls or adding something unusual to an imported confectionery range.
The flavour combination balances soft, sweet liquorice with the fresh and mild taste of banana. Their tender foam texture makes them softer than traditional firm or chewy Dutch liquorice, allowing the pieces to almost melt in the mouth. Banana sweetness keeps the liquorice approachable without covering its familiar herbal character.
Apekoppen have been enjoyed in the Netherlands for years, where their unusual monkey shape and banana-liquorice pairing have earned plenty of fans. They are made with natural colours and are gelatine free, gluten free and palm oil free. The sweets are also marked vegan on the packaging, making them suitable for customers avoiding animal gelatine.
The 500g bag works well for Dutch liquorice fans who want more than a small snack pack while remaining manageable for home cupboards and shared tables. These monkey heads suit international lolly selections, Dutch-themed hampers, party bowls and novelty confectionery displays. Retailers, specialty food stores and cafés can sell the original branded bag or use the pieces when creating mixed imported sweet selections.
The Professors has helped Australians find local and imported confectionery since 2006, including a broad selection of Dutch liquorice for newcomers and devoted drop fans. Order Katja Apekoppen from The Professors Online Lolly Shop for Australia-wide shipping, or purchase several bags for your shop, event or household stash.
