A search on the internet will not reveal the "magic" of making a Twizzler's traditional shape. However, if you examine Twizzler very carefully (this is the Scientific methd) its method of manufacture becomes apparent.

A Twizzler is a long tube of soft(ish) candy, slightly flattened on the bottom with a spiral ridge coiled around its length and two squished flat ends. There is often a seam along the sides adjacent to the flat bottom.

The shape is similar to spaghetti or more specifically a combination of rotini and penne. So we start our assumption with the thought that the candy mixture is extruded from a die to give us the hollow tube.

The tube is likely passed through two revolving molds which impart the spiral twists and the side seams (where the two moulds meet) and cools the mixture enough so it doesn't sag into a candy rope when released.

The cooled continuous rope is cut off as it emerges from the mold squishing the ends flat and falls onto a conveyor belt. The cooling Twizzers ride the belt cooling even more but sagging a bit to give the flat bottom.

Yes, the company that makes Twizzlers also decapitates cockroach heads, and they use the heads to make the Twizzlers. That's why they are soft, and also why the color is red!
