Query: Licorice Bites Quality

I recently purchased both the red and black licorice bites. The product was a little on the hard side but worse than that it had very little cherry or licorice flavor. To turn this into a pretty good product I poured a teaspoon of anise and 3 T of Splenda over the black, shook it up to coat all the pieces and then micro waved the bag for 30 seconds. A few days later the product tasted better and was softer. I deem my change a success. For the cherry bites, I did the same only with cherry extract (no anise) and also had very good results. I have a recipie for sugar free licorice if you want it email me.
