These cherry vines have a nice mild cherry flavor. The "no added sugar" label is misleading. These contain "organic corn syrup" rather than "sugar." However, I didn't find these to be overly sweet. Actually, I found these to be less sweet than a lot of dried fruit. And unlike Twizzlers, these left no artificial aftertaste--even after eating a pack in a sitting (I'm a recovering Twizzlers addict, so I used to finish a large pack in a sitting all the time.). They're chewier (and harder) than Twizzlers and have a texture similar to those off-brand red licorice vines that you might find at a gas station or convenience store. The chewier texture did not deter me, however, from eating one vine after another while watching watching TV. The packs are small, so these will go fast: each vine is about 5 inches long and there are about 15 vines in a pack. That said, I wish that they were a little bit cheaper, but considering the great taste and the fact that they're the only brand of gluten-free licorice on the market it's worth the price.

Different texture than twizzlers, thin and harder. The taste is different as well, but unfortunately, they are addicting!! First time I have had licorice in 10 years, so it was a treat-but I still will miss Twizzlers! Very nice that they are organic! (Lessens the guilt factor!)

I LOVE licorice and this is the BEST I have found without red dye #5 and blue dye #3.
The vines are shorter than with licorice found at Wal-Mart. But that is no problem for me. The candy is still delicious. I have tried the cherry and black flavor. Love them both. Next on my list is the strawberry.
