Dracula Piller (English: Dracula Pills) are a brand of salmiakki confectionery. They are very popular in Denmark and Finland.
Dracula Piller are hard, roughly disc-shaped candies, with a salmiakki flavour. Unlike Turkish Pepper, Dracula Piller do not contain powder filling. The candies taste the strongest on the outside, biting into a Dracula Pille weakens its taste.citation needed
They are manufactured by NCI Nordisk Chokolade Import A/S in Denmark.
The Dracula Piller bag features a picture of the famous fictional vampire Dracula, with his name written in big, red, blood-dripping letters.
The Danish bag no longer features the term "Dracula Piller", but they are still referred to as such in advertisements, on receipts and in cultural consciousness.
"Dracula Piller" is plural; one piece of this candy is called a "Dracula Pille".
