Okay. When I was younger my step-grama always bought me this hard candy. It was some kind of Asian candy… I think it may have been Vietnamese. It came in a dark brown/black package, and the candy was individually wrapped. The candy itself was a weird dark honey brown color, and almost had a shimmer to it. The flavor was very odd… distinct. It almost tasted like it had alcohol (liquor) in it. I can’t remember much else about it… and cannot find it anywhere! It’s been years since I’ve had it, so I’m not sure if it even exists. Hopefully someone can help me out here. I’ve searched a ton of online Asian grocers and haven’t found anything.
I’m sure it was Asian.
Probably should have mentioned the candy is round/oval shaped. Like a cough drop.

It’s tamarind candy; very yummy indeed! It’s one of my favorites.

Hope I helped!
