root beer barrels

Soda-flavored hard sweets

Root beer barrels are hard candies flavored to taste like root beer, the American soft drink.

They're typically barrel-shaped and amber-colored, with a sweet, slightly spicy flavor reminiscent of sassafras and wintergreen.

A nostalgic treat often found in candy shops and grandparents' candy dishes: The jar of root beer barrels sat on her desk.
