Best Answer

Liquorice candy is made by cooking it at a low temperature to dry it out, so it must be rehydrated to make it liquid again.

Grind the candy down in a blender or food processor, then cook it in water, corn syrup or honey over a double boiler, or in a microwave on lower power, pausing to stir frequently.

Microwaving them for a few seconds can soften hard licorice. Not more that 5 second please, and please take care because they may be hotter inside than the feel on the outside. Keep cold water on hand to prevent burns. Note Severe Burn Hazard Warning!

Why does licorice turn hard in drinks?

licorice is made of gelatins and other materials to help keep it maleable at room temperature. If you put it in a drink (colder than room temperature), the molecules and oils within the licorice will bunch together. To see the reverse effect, try putting licorice in hot water or something else that is warm (tea maybe?)
