It's not only the Dutch. The Finish people like it as well, and I'm sure more people in the Northern part of Europe. We don't call it a sweet. I think the best word we use for it is "snoepje". I think that's usually translated as candy. I would just call it something to enjoy in between eating.
The center contains Salmiak, or ammoniumchloride. It’s a certain type of salt and and acquired taste. For sure if you don’t expect it, Dutch love it, but their used to the taste. It’s like eating spicy food when you never had that before, you probably don’t like it.
Liquirice with salt is a thing. But simply salt? For me there is a big difference between "Lakritze" and "Salmiak". The english translation for both is liquirice.
Oh I just LOVE salmiakballs! I can eat the whole bag. But for people who never had it before it can be a shock.😂
I'm shocked!😂😂

Not a snack. Even it is talked about how salty it is, liquirice is not a snack. You chew on it like a gum. Its some kind of very strange candy.

I love both. Salmiak is stronger. Both don't need salt.
