Ferrara Pan American Candy

In the early 1930's, Ferrara Pan Candy Company created the famous Red Hot using the cold panned candy method. The idea of a piece of cinnamon hard candy was developed prior to the production of Ferrara Pan's Red Hots. The name "cinnamon imperials" is a generic name used by the candy industry to indicate a piece of cinnamon hard candy. The cold panned process involves building candy pieces from candy centers and tossing them into revolving pans while adding flavor, color and other candy ingredients. This process continues until the pieces become the desired size. Red Hots are a registered trademark of Ferrara Pan Candy Company and is yet another example of Ferrara Pan's commitment to quality in the candy industry.

No wonder Jawbusters take so long to eat -- it takes from 14 to 19 days to make a single Jaw Buster, The Original Jawbreaker. Jawbuster's candy are created using the hot panned process. This process involves building candy pieces from single grains of sugar and tossing them into revolving pans while adding flavor, color and other candy ingredients. This process continues until the pieces become the desired size.

"The Boston Baked Bean" is a generic name used throughout the candy industry for sugar coated peanuts. Ferrara Pan Candy Company developed their line of Boston Baked Beans in the early 1930's, right around the same time that Red Hots were introduced.

Nello Ferrara, the son of Salvatore Ferrara, created the famous Atomic FireBall in 1954. At this time in his life he had the idea to develop a spicy candy. When the product was presented to the candy industry, the capacity at Ferrara Pan was limited to 200 cases per day. Within three weeks of sending samples to Ferrara Pan brokers, orders were rolling in at a rate of over 50,000 cases per day, far beyond the capacity Ferrara Pan could handle at that time.

The original "super intense" cinnamon candy

Lemonheads were named and formulated by Ferrara Pan Candy Company. The formula was developed in 1962 using the same method as Red Hots, another Ferrara Pan candy product. Both of these candies are made using the cold panned process. This process involves building candy pieces from candy centers and tossing them into revolving pans while adding flavor, color and other candy ingredients. The process continues until the pieces become the desired size.
