I was thinking more along the lines of "So very tasty". (I'm quite partial to sal ammoniac aka salmiac candy.)
Is that this? We don't have it here in the States.

Yup, often called "salty licorice", although i prefer the ones with less licorice and more salmiac.
I enjoy most the ones coated with citric acid derivatives, making them really sour, like "Pääkallo (skull) super salmiakki",

which salmiyuck rated as "caustic".
(I feel I must also note that although Weller LS25 tip cleaning block is also made of sal ammoniac, it isn't food grade stuff. Don't lick it, it may have unsafe binding agents et cetera.)
