Ferrara Candy Atomic Fireballs, 40.5 Ounce

While it's funny to read the wildly varying comments, I'll just say that I'm very happy to have scored this Amazon bargain! I've been buying small packages of fireballs for years and years, and often have run out of the delicious morsels. Sure... I've broken a tooth on them before, but I just can't give them up. This five pound bag is simply life's answer to your fireball dreams! It's probably a two-year supply for me, and the price is less than what I have been paying for a quarter of the quantity. They are the smaller-sized fireballs, but I have never had a preference. I would further say that they are reasonably hot, relative to my decades-long history with fireballs. The heat doesn't last particularly long though, but I have so many now that I don't mind spitting one out when the flavor is gone and replacing it with a new one.

Other reviews suggest not everyone gets the same thing, but I got the genuine stuff. These are 3/4" in diameter, and with the classic fireball hot cinnamon flavor. The label says the flavor is artificial, but my taste buds couldn't tell. The outside is dark red and doesn't have the hot flavor, but once that is off, the heat hits. These are good! Well, they are good if you like hot cinnamon. They came in the plastic tub with the replaceable lid. If you care, they are 30 calories each and are supposed to be about 150 in the tub. Great value for not much money.

Atomic Fireballs are a true candy classic for spice lovers and hard candy lovers. These are absolutely delicious and lower in calories as well for those who are trying to lose weight while still enjoying sweet treats that they love! It certainly isn't the hottest candy, but the taste is superb and it has enough spice to make you tear up a bit if you pop 2-3 in at a time. You can pop one of these in when you are intermittent fasting too, to help with the hunger pangs.

I love this candy and been eating it for decades. I was down to eating the knock off ones as it was getting harder to find the original ones in stores. I'm so glad I found it in bulk on Amazon! These are the true Atomic Fire Balls. They are a true jawbreaker, staying hard to the center. These are the smaller ones, 3/4", which I don't mind. One thing I do find buying in large batches is the inconsistency of "heat" in each of the balls. Some will be really hot (which I love) and some will be mild. I don't mind this as the overall taste of the candy is good (unlike the knock offs), but l do admit, I would love if they all had the same "fire"!

These Fireballs are smaller than what I expected, but they are just as hot and taste exactly the same as the larger ones. The product came in a 5 lb. bag as advertised. I weighed it with a food scale and it was 5 lbs exactly. Smaller can be better, it just depends on what you prefer. If you plan on giving these out to a large amount of people, then I would recommend this smaller size. I went to Walmart afterward and picked up the larger ones to see if if there was a difference. The amount of hot cinnamon flavor seems to be the same on both. The difference is that with the larger ones you are going to be left with that larger core after you suck away all the hot flavor. The smaller ones also get eaten faster so you will be reaching in the bag for another one faster than with the larger ones. I added a picture for comparison. The one on the right is from the 5 lb bulk.

There were more than the estimated 150. Great. The size isn't as big as they once were, but the flavor is good and they are hot. The individual candy wrappers were sticky. I'm not sure why, but each candy was sealed. I poured the candy on the table and waited a couple days. The wrappers were no longer sticky, so it's all good. As long as the candy was fresh, I saw no reason to return them. The only thing that could make them better, is to make them bigger.

Love em’! Nice and fresh. Price was reasonable. The grocery store where I used to live sold them in bulk at $1.99/lb. or $1.59/lb. if I caught them on sale. ****New addition to my previous review***** I’ve ordered these 3 times from the same seller. My first 2 orders were wonderful (although the second order had a mix of large and small sizes within the same package). My third order was horribly stale. After the outer layer (where all the hot is) had dissolved (in a VERY short time) the inner portion just crumbled. Unfortunately, I was outside the return limit when I realized the entire batch was bad. I’m undecided if I’ll order again seeing as I’ll be throwing away 5 lbs. *****Another addition to my previous review******* I did buy these again, for a fourth time. They were either stale or there was a manufacturing problem. The centers were, again, crumbly - like soft powder. This isn’t “normal” fir ant type fire ball. These are the only ones I’ve ever had that did this and it was only two bags our of four.

I bought these for filling a candy bowl for the students at my college. The candy in the bowl must be individually wrapped, which these are. These candies are also very powerfully flavored (hot cinnamon) and long lasting (think jawbreakers), which is useful for subtly encouraging each student to take only one. Some people take one look at the color and name, realize they will not like it, and do not take one. But most people are either familiar with these from childhood or brave enough to try, and they like them. I tried one myself and they are exactly as I remember, but will not have any more because I am too tempted to try to crunch them and my dentist would not be happy about that. (Or alternatively, maybe she would like the extra business if I cracked my teeth. Just kidding. My dentist is too nice for that.) Altogether a great purchase for a candy bowl.

Absolutely love!! ❤️

These are delicious and spicy cinnamon treats! It’s impressive how hot a cinnamon candy can be. Love these, and will definitely buy again once I run out!

These are my favourite candies I’ve ever had, used to buy them for 25 cents each at the carnival but with Covid being a thing I couldn’t find them anywhere. The price in my opinion is great! An just wait until you open the box.. the amazing smell of cinnamon punch’s you in the nose lol I highly recommend if you love hot cinnamon candy!! Tho they are very hot and very addictive!!! so be careful haha

Hotter than I anticipated - I was thinking more candy hearts but they hit the spot.

in the past 3 days I have eaten about 10 of these and I can officaly say i have no feeling in my mouth........... Other then that! These things are amazing! Delious layers you start off with a light cinniomon that graduates into this overwhelming heat and before you know it your back to a sweet cinimon flavour. But dont kid your self round 2!! As the heat comes back you start to sweat a bit but keep pushing through. Its perfectly painfully delicious! And when you finnaily reach the end of this rollercoaster you will find your self a nice ball of sweet cinimon to bite into and enjoy the last few crunchs.
