A few years ago I had these tiny little hard candy drops of pure anise that I'm pretty sure I got at Cost Plus, but Cost Plus no longer sells them. I remember they were round, about the size of a small lentil, came in small tin sort of like Altoid smalls, and very, very intensely anise flavored. What were they and where can I buy them now?

I have developed a taste for salty licorice, aka salmiak. The salty flavor comes from ammonium chloride, rather than sodium chloride. Are there any known health risks associated with eating this stuff regularly?
