Tyrkisk peber (Danish for "Turkish pepper", often referred to as Turkinpippuri in Finnish, Türkisch Pfeffer in German, Tyrkisk pepper in Norwegian and Turkisk peppar in Swedish) is a salty liquorice candy flavoured with salmiac (ammonium chloride), produced by the Finnish company Fazer and popular in Northern Europe.
The basic variant is a large, hollow, round shell both coated and filled with ammonium chloride powder.
The tyrkisk peber product family has later expanded to include the "Hot & Sour" (a milder variant of the traditional design, produced in four different flavours; Spicy Citrus, Pepper Liquorice, Chilli Melon and Strawberry Surprise) and "Bonfire" (soft, much milder candies) bagged variants, as well as lollipops and filled liquorice.
[2] Tyrkisk peber is used to make the Finnish candy shot Salmiakki Koskenkorva and in similar Scandinavian drinks.
Tyrkisk peber is hygroscopic, and if left in an unsealed bag it will absorb water from the air and stick together after a few days.
