   Sounds great!  Another bonus to people watching their calories, cinnamon is a natural appetite suppressant.  I’ll be looking for these.

   Justin - I think that the “licorice segment” is growing a lot because it is a pretty filling treat.

   Brian - thanks for the heads up! I think I fixed it.

   Doug - since “National Licorice Day” is coming up, I think I’ll do a taste test of all the other varieties of red licorice. But mostly I’m a black licorice fan.

   really? national licorice day? wow.

   i have to same im kind of a licorice novice, outside of the jelly bean variety. i love the black beans, but i tried the little funny shaped ones that you find sometimes (with the pink and white parts on them) and i really didnt like them. since then ive been a little licorice-phobic, though i know a lot of candy bloggers swear by the stuff, and i know a lot is out there. and ive heard there are salty varieties too? that just sounds…awful. i like the strong taste, but a salty version sounds icky.

   but yeah, ive never had a red licorice ive liked, though i know the red kinds arent “real” licorice.

   I love twizzlers and adding cinnamon flavor is a great idea!

   I’m not sure if you meant this—I can read it both ways—but those of us who can’t have gluten can have corn!

   Annie - I just meant to give folks a heads up on the wheat part (and mentioned the corn syrup thing because, well, it just sounded like the candy was so grain-based).

   I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE pull and peel licorice. I will definitely have to try the cinnamon kind.
   It is really fun to play with and lasts a long time.

    I will have to keep an eye out for these.  I don’t know if the watermelon flavor is still on the market, but I’ve always loved it.  It tastes pretty much like real watermelon, not the fake watermelon you often get in candies.  And pulling the ropes apart is fun.

    I just saw the Cinnamon Twizzlers at Walgreen’s, but the price was way to high for me. I’ll have to shop around.

    I do have to say that I live just an hour away from Licorice International in Lincoln, Nebraska. I love this store! They have such a large selection of black licorice and they are happy to let you sample. They have other tastey treats, but the black is my favorite.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE these…just purchased them at Walgreens at 4/$5.00.

    Brought them back to the office and they disappeared, everyone really enjoyed the spicy bite of fire.

    
    I would buy them again.

    I have bought 4 bags of cinnamon pull n peels and now I can’t find them.  Walgreens just had them the one time.  When will they be shipped so that we cn buy them again.  Is Walgreens the only place that carries them.

    Thank You

    Saw these at Meijer today and almost picked them up.  They were going for $1.89.  I am intrigued by the watermelon flavor Twizzlers…

    That’s just ridiculous… is the economy THAT bad in your country to where you have to haggle over the price of candy? I mean wow… If you feel it’s too expensive, don’t buy it. It’s not a car, it’s a piece of CANDY.

    To all of you who cannot find the Cinnamon Twizzlers…...I am ADDICTED to these! I was also having a hard time finding them after I first found them at Walgreens, so I called the Hershey plant here in Modesto CA. and they told me to go to the website and ask. Well, Hershey makes them EXCLUSIVELY for Walgreens. They said to ask the manager if they carry them, and if not, request to get them in their store. They are on sale again 4/$3.00 and that comes out to on .75 a piece!  These are the best. So, look at your local Walgreens and they will be there. Also, the Watermelon AND Peach are also available there.

    I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE these cinnamon twizzlers!!!  I found them accidentally at Giant Food Stores in my area.  I had to try them because cinnamon is my favorite flavor ever.  They remind me of Cinnamon Bears.  I will be buying more!!

    Finally found these as one of the items included in a 10 for $10 sale at a midwest supermarket. They are most excellent, but I wonder whether they’d consider making these in the regular version in addition to the Pull & Peel? I adore the regular Twizzlers, and I’d be interested to see how the Cinnamon Fire flavor works with the chewier regular version. The Pull & Peels just don’t have enough stamina when you chew them - they break down too easily.

    Please let me know if you have any word on whether they’ll include these in the regular Twizzlers line. Thanks!

    I was so excited to see these at walgreen’s!!I quite like them but they really stick to your teeth. They seem gummier than regular twizzler’s… I’ll be looking for peach and watermelon.

    I got these on clearance at Kroger, a grocery store in Georgia. They are “red hots” in pull ‘n peel form. They burn good afterwards. If you like hot cinnamon, you’ll like these.

    I can’t find the cinnamon licorice anywhere during the past year.  I live in Massachusetts and would be happy to pick them up in a store or online.  I even went to the big M&M store in NYC and they didn’t carry them!  Where can I some???

    I can’t believe these have been around since 2008 and I’m just now hearing about them in Denver! They are so yummy! I’ve heard they are sold at King Soopers (a Kroger chain), but I would guess Walgreen’s too.  I hope they don’t go away any time soon.

    In the 50s and 60s at Laverdier’s Drug Stores in Maine, we could find cinnamon candies of the size and shape of a Junior Mint. The outside was an opaque hard cinamon shell and the inside was a sort of foamed cinamon of a texture slightly firmer than the center of a Muskateer Bar. These went for three for a penny in the 50s and later about a dollar a bag. Does anyone make these today?

    WAAAAAH!!! I can’t find the Peach Twizzlers Pull-N-Peels anywhere!!! I’ve been searching for them for years - they’re my favorite candy of ALL TIME, and they’re not anyplace I can get to them! Please, PLEASE if you find them, or know where they can be acquired, I’ll give the bag’s weight in flesh to get some!!!
