Haribo Pontefract Cake: Liquorice Royalty in Every Round

Haribo Pontefract Cake is what happens when traditional confectionery meets enduring appeal. These glossy black discs of soft liquorice are stamped with heritage, history, and just the right touch of chewy indulgence. For the sweet-toothed purist, they’re the benchmark of proper liquorice—the kind that doesn't need bells, whistles, or rainbow coatings to demand attention.
