Do solid jawbreakers exist anymore?
September 11, 2014 9:54 AM   Subscribe

When I was younger, I'd get a bag of bulk 1/4" jawbreakers at the fair and they'd last forever. They'd be solid core, all panned candy down to a tiny seed in the middle.

Now they're only a couple of layers of hard candy with a soft powdery sour center, like Blips or Everlasting Gobstoppers. This is a trend amongst all the traditional white/splatter jawbreakers I've tried in the last ten years or so, of all different sizes: instead of being solid panned candy all the way through, it's this terrible soft candy inside. The only solid ones that still exist are the fruit flavored Ferrara Pan Jaw Busters - I even tried that giant novelty one and it had a 1.5" core of that sour candy.

Does anyone have a source for the real old-fashioned ones?

I used to love jawbreakers from Ferrara Pan. They still make them. Most Family Dollar stores carry them.

Response by poster: All of those "Bruiser" jawbreakers are made by the same company, and I've been disappointed by them many times. I've looked all over the internet, and thought I'd see if anyone here had better luck.
