In 1954, as the Cold War was at its height, Nello Ferrera, the son of one of the founders of Ferrera Pan, had a brilliant idea. He wanted to create a panned candy that paid tribute to the times but was also hot & spicy.
Little did he know that his idea would create one of the most iconic candies of all time and would last for nearly 70 years until they were discontinued in 2023.
Being old-school candy lovers, we cringed when we heard the news but started an uphill quest to find a worthy substitute.
It wasn't easy, but, in the end, we stumbled upon Tongue Torchers! It was certainly a good day in the candy industry!
Our Tongue Torchers Peg Bags are a good entry point for any retro ,candy store, and while they may not have the cachet of Atomic Fireballs, they are certainly a good substitute!

[message]Great taste and they arrived fresh.
Perfect mix of coconut and peanut butter. And on top of all of that, the candy is fresh.
Where are the spicy gumdrops of yesterday? I keep trying and hoping to find them again but, although these were close, they were not the ones I dreamed about.
Good point! In the past few years, so many candies have changed and, worse, been discontinued. The original spice drops were spicier and after trying many different distributors, these were as clsoe as what we could find. A tad different but still tasty!
I like to suck on this in my car and when I get out to go somewhere. They are easy to open too.
I remember as a young kid my friends and I would walk to the movie theater for the Saturday show. On the way passing a little drug store. We would go in and look over the candy counter and there they were those $02 boxes of snaps. Having a dime I would buy 5 boxes of snaps and enjoyed them all during the movie. On the way home we would pass the same drug store and looked forward to getting my allowance so that I could get more of those wonderful snaps that I loved so much. I still love them today over 50 years later....keep making them.
There are so many 'sweey' memories regarding Snaps Licorice but, sadly, they have been discontinued by the manufacturer and no indication has been made to them being available in th near future! On this side, they were personal favorites and one of the best selling candies we ever sold!
