Enjoy these licorice twists straight from the package for an immediate sweet treat. They can be incorporated into dessert creations, such as decorating cakes or cupcakes, or even chopped and sprinkled over ice cream. For a different texture, you can slightly warm them to make them even more pliable for molding or shaping. They are also a fun addition to candy buffets or as a small indulgence during a movie night.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other licorice varieties, this Australian-style red licorice is known for its softer, more yielding chew. It typically features a fruity, sweet flavor profile rather than the more intense anise flavor found in black licorice. The flat twist shape also distinguishes it from round ropes or cut pieces.

How to keep the rest
To maintain the freshness and chewiness of the remaining licorice, store it in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or excessive heat, as this can cause the candy to melt or become hard. Properly stored, it will remain enjoyable for an extended period.
