Ferrara Pan Candy Company
 PROFILE
For Ferrara Pan Candy Company, a sour face is a happy face. Best known for its venerable, mouth-puckering Lemonhead candies, the company also makes such familiar treats as Red Hots, Jaw Busters, Boston Baked Beans, and Atomic Fireballs. Panned candies, made in a rotating pan as the name implies, are the company's specialty; it also makes gummy candies and co-packs jelly beans for other companies. Ferrara started with the sugar-coated almonds served at Italian weddings and expanded to serve the appetites of kids. Founded in 1908 by the Ferrara, Buffardi, and Pagano families, Ferrara is still owned and managed by the descendants of its founders.
