I was going to say maybe you were using the wrong flavors, but... I find
the LorAnn stuff is very strong! I haven't tried it in SF hard candies but
I did try it in jellies and even a small amount on a toothpick was too much
flavor. They were inedible.

You are correct to add it after it has stopped boiling. Don't know what
else to tell you.
