I had the same trouble with silicone muffin cups. Now I always dose them with a teeny bit of cooking spray before using. And, cooling does work. They are lovely and no paper waste.

I used to work at a store that sold a large assortment of salty licorice. I think Haribo "Salt Bomber" are the best. When you no longer notice the salt, then you can move up to the salmiak filled Tyrkisk Peber. This is a licorice candy exterior filled with ammonium chloride. The first time I tasted it, I was pretty sure I was eating poison. I've seen people buy this stuff by the case!

I love Trader Joe's licorice. I can only it on those occasions that I have a fellow licorice lover to share it with, because if I do, I will eat it all within 24 hours. No joke!

I got some salty licorice at the Mediterranean Import shop at the West Side Market, in Cleveland. It was one of the strangest things I've ever eaten. It put me in mind of - remember this? - this experiment we did in Honors Bio in 9th grade where we all had to taste this little paper strip, and some people would be able to taste the chemical that was on it and some people wouldn't (I think the experiment was designed to demonstrate the presence/rarity of a certain gene.) I just kept thinking that salty licorice must taste different to certain people than it did to me!

I love the Clover. Coffee at Trabant used to be a morning ritual and I have to say i could tell the difference from the standard drip I get on campus.
