I am on holiday in France and went into my nearest HFS today, where I saw little packs of candy called "Gomme d'Acacia". There were three flavours: mint, vanilla and honey. I bought the vanilla, which actually tastes very mildly of liquorice. The ingredients are:
50% gomme d'Acacia, sucre, sirop de glucose, suc de reglisse, arome naturelle vanille.
I haven't seen anything like it in the UK. Going to try the other flavours too. They are quite chewy and pleasant, but not too sweet or sickly (like marshmallows).
Has anyone seen anything similar?

... CFCEE REGALIS 06650 LE ROURET. I would guess that this is only available in France, but there may be other companies making something similar elsewhere. The ingredients seem quite simple, so it may even be possible to make it at home ... another possibility for the 'cooking with acacia' people?
