Generally at least 20%, although I've seen much bigger. The absinthe is definitely fantastic. If I have a complaint, it's that their lollipops are now big spheres it's sort of awkward to eat. It sounds like they've changed their bacon policy, however; I believe they were investigating faux-bacon, last I heard. Also, the website seems to have been in a bit of disrepair over the last couple months and I haven't received a newsletter in awhile, so I'm not sure what the situation with the company is at this point...

Got to try these to compare. We tried to make bacon brittle recently and although we never quite succeeded we sure enjoyed the flavor combination! Got to try these to compare.

I am not a fan of alcohol-flavored candy, so I'd've had the same hesitation with the Absinthe. Good to know it's something I'd love since I love licorice so much! And hey, what's not to love about maple and bacon? I grew up in New England where we'd go harvest our own syrup and boil it down, and my mom would cook bacon with our own syrup long before anyone was packaging it that way. Mmmmm! I gotta get some of these! Dang, these both sound fabulous to me! I am not a fan of alcohol-flavored candy, so I’d've had the same hesitation with the Absinthe.

I have had it... and did not like it, so I share my bottle with my friends (and enemies). It is an extreme version of Ouzo.
