Does red licorice contain real licorice?

Red licorice rarely contains real licorice, but rather natural flavors and coloring that give it a distinctive taste. Red licorice contains more sugar than black licorice candy and has a mild and sweeter taste.

How do I store licorice to keep it from getting stale?

Red licorice tends to come in bags that aren’t resealable. Some come in plastic tubs, but if they don’t, you need to find a way to keep the candy in an airtight container. Licorice can get hard and stale quickly if left out. To maintain the soft chew of the candy, keep it in a zippered plastic bag or snap-top container. You can microwave licorice for a few seconds to soften it if it does harden during storage.

What’s a good cupcake design for a Halloween party?

To make a batch of spooky cupcakes for a Halloween party, try making monster cupcakes. Use firm buttercream frosting to make "hair" on the cupcake using tip #233 if you have a coupler and piping bag. Top the cupcakes with edible eyes or eyes made from fondant, as well as red licorice vines that stick out the top of the monster’s head.
