Lemonheads are made by the Ferrara Pan Candy Company established in 1919 by Salvatore Ferrara. The company still occupies the original building at 2200 West Taylor Street in Chicago. According to wikipedia, "Lemonheads are a lemon-shaped, lemon-flavored candy consisting of a sweet coating, soft sour shell, and a hard candy core."
Ferrara Pan Candy also makes Grapeheads, Cherryheads, Melonheads, which I have never seen, Appleheads, Orangeheads, Jaw Busters, Atomic Fireballs, Original Boston Baked Beans and Red Hots.
I love them wrapped as shown, and I love the small ones in the large packages. I think they make fun little, cheery gifts in a cello bag with a bright bow and a happy note. My local market now sells the small boxes in the candy bar section and they are fun too. And you'll be suprised, even though you're a grown up now, they still taste really yummy. Enjoy! Best Wishes... Tiffany
