Atomic Fireballs are a round, hot hard candy invented by Nello Ferrara in 1954. They are a form of jawbreaker. The flavoring is primarily that of cinnamon. The outer layers of the candy are a bright red color while the interior layers are white. When initially introduced by Ferrara Pan, the company had a manufacturing capacity of 200 cases per day but demand quickly rose to 50,000 cases per day. According to the company, approximately 15 million Fireballs are eaten weekly.
