Tyrkisk peber is a salty liquorice candy flavoured with ammonium chloride, produced by the Finnish company Fazer and popular in Northern Europe. Tyrkisk peber was originally invented by Per Fjelsten in 1976 in Jutland, Denmark and was originally made by the Danish company Perelly, before the company was acquired by Fazer. The basic variant is a large, hollowroundshell both coated and filled with ammonium chloride powder. It is sold in dark bluebags, with flames on them. The tyrkisk peber product family has later expanded to include the "Hot & Sour" and "Bonfire" bagged variants, as well as lollipops and filled liquorice. There has also been a chili-flavoured version and a strongly licorice-flavoured version with less of the ammonium chloride and peppercorn flavouring, but these have since been discontinued. The licorice-flavoured variant can still be found as one of the flavours in the “Hot & Sour” bags, though. Tyrkisk peber is sometimes used to make the Finnish cocktailsalmiakkikoskenkorva and in similar Scandinaviancocktails. When Perelly manufactured tyrkisk peber, it was also available as powder. The powder was often used to make the cocktail, which in Denmark is known as sorte svin, små grå, or hot shot or lakridsshot, in Sweden as lakritsshot, and in Norway as tyrker, små grå, or lakrisshot. and The tyrkisk peber is now available as a Vodka with licorice The tyrkisk peber. 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. In Northern Europe there are competing different versions of this candy, including pulverpadder, rustne søm and spejderhagl''.
