Lemonhead Candy

Bold & Tangy Lemonhead Candy

Experience the iconic taste of Lemonhead Candy – large, individually wrapped lemon-flavored candies with an intensely tart outer shell and a sweet, smooth center. Each piece delivers a powerful burst of citrus flavor that starts sour and finishes sweet, making every bite a nostalgic treat. These classic candies have been a favorite since 1962, loved for their bold lemon taste and satisfying crunch-to-chew texture.

Fun Facts about Lemonhead Candy:

• The Name: The candy was invented in 1962 by Nello Ferrara. He named it "Lemonhead" after seeing his newborn grandson for the first time; the baby was delivered via forceps, which temporarily gave his head a slightly oblong, lemon-like shape.
• The Process: They are made using a "cold panned" process. This involves rotating candy cores in large kettles while slowly adding sugar, flavor, and color until a thick, crunchy shell forms.
• Other "Heads": Over the years, Ferrara used the same process to create a whole family of "head" candies, including Grapeheads (originally Alexander the Grape), Cherryheads (originally Cherry Chan), and Appleheads (originally Johnny Apple Treats).
