A cheeky little Belgian landmark gives Matthijs Brussel Manneke Sweet Licorice a character all its own. These black licorice figures take their shape from Brussels’ famous Manneken Pis statue, pairing a playful design with traditional Dutch confectionery flavour. Supplied in a 1kg bag, they’re a choice for filling a favourite lolly jar, sharing with fellow licorice fans or portioning for retail sale. Their small size makes them easy to include in a mixed selection, although dedicated fans may prefer to keep this variety together.
The flavour is sweet licorice with a subtle salty twist, giving each piece a little contrast beneath the sweetness. A soft, chewy texture makes these figures a familiar choice for those who enjoy taking their time over a licorice treat. They can hold their own in a bowl or sit alongside other Dutch licorice varieties for a tasting selection with different shapes and flavours. If you already enjoy sweet black licorice, Brussel Manneke offers that familiar appeal with an unmistakably cheeky appearance.
The Manneken Pis shape also makes these sweets a talking point when you bring out the lolly bowl. Each figure has moulded details that distinguish it from the coins, cats and diamonds often found in Dutch licorice assortments. For someone with a connection to Belgium or a fondness for Dutch sweets, a small portion can make a thoughtful addition to a confectionery gift. You can combine them with the recipient’s other favourites, letting their taste guide the selection while the little figures bring some humour.
For confectionery retailers, the 1kg bulk format suits preparing smaller bags or replenishing a dedicated licorice container. The sweet flavour gives you another variety to offer customers building their own assortment, particularly those who enjoy a chewy style. Shops specialising in European confectionery can include Brussel Manneke among their Dutch favourites, with the distinctive shape helping customers recognise a familiar choice. At home, the same bag lets you fill a smaller serving jar and keep the remaining sweets aside for refills, ready for visitors who share your enthusiasm for licorice.
