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. Intense lemon flavor with real lemon pucker power.
