Are these flavors ready to use or do they have to be mixed?

They were all ready to use without mixing. A tbsp or less is generally how much syrup I use. Everyone here loves these flavors.

Just like the other responses, these are syrups ready-for-use. The only mixing required is if you would like to combine flavors; say strawberry and banana, or cherry and pina colada. Let your imagination explore the possibilities.

I have not tried a half recipe yet but I plan to. I dont see why it wouldnt be fine as long as all the ingrediants are cut in half.

It's better to put the flavouring on AFTER popping...because the popping machine will burn it. You only need a couple sprinkles for 1 batch. gr

With milk, all flavors are good! If you use water, blend it, I think vanilla is the best though

They are dry and crunchy, nothing added. I use them in my smoothies, and generally put them in my smoothie liquid the night before so they blend better. Very nice crisp flavor. Not sure how they would be in a trail mix based on the texture, they are very dry.

Absolutely! I made them according to this recipe using anise oil, and they were delicious:http://allrecipes.com/recipe/licorice-caramels/detail.aspx(If you ever had Callard & Bowser's licorice toffee, these were exactly like those!)

We vacuum sealed ours & froze them however, we split & soak ours in Vodka to make Vanilla for baking. We did not notice any change in flavor.

Yes, it will be fine. I've used them past the expiration date, but if they are expired, I move them to the freezer until I can use them. Works great for me. Taste is still awesome.

I have a mix in mine and it seems ok. I do try to be careful with it due to previous reviews. I've had no problems.

I can't imagine there would be any problems. Same consistency so they'll mix the same and who can argue with that flavor combo.

I do not believe it 'has' to be mixed with anything else. I do however also feed my cockateils some Zupreme fruit flavor just for variety in a separate dish

Mash them with avocado and hot sauce! Good way to hide the jarring flavor :-)

No they only have a set package of the flavors and don't let you mix your own selections. That would be a great idea to have that ability however.

I put mine directly to soak in vodka to make my own vanilla, so I can't help you on this one. I would hesitate to freeze them, though. My gut instinct just says it might not be the best thing. Looks like the other comments are split 50/50.

I'm sorry . . . I've never had one last very long, so I can't speak from experience. However, I think all you might be compromising is the intensity of the flavor. If it still takes good, go ahead and use it!

I used most o them right away, making my own vanilla extract. I wrapped the rest very well in plastic and froze them. I haven't used any since but I am sure they will be fine I left to thaw at room temp and kept tightly sealed.

I would use at least two, if not more depending on the amount of water you'll be mixing them with. The flavor is extremely mild and I believe the caffeine content follows suit. Very convenient though even if you do need to use more!
