"Jawbreakers were not only a popular treat in the 19th and 20th centuries, but also had a resurgence thanks to 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'."
"The process of making jawbreakers, known as 'panning,' involves rolling a candy core in sugar syrup for layers, taking days or weeks to complete."
Jawbreakers, with their notable origin tied to the Ferrara Pan candy company, rose to significant popularity in the early 1900s. Originally viewed as a luxury treat, their acclaim surged in the 1970s following the release of 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,' which introduced the fictional 'Everlasting Gobstopper.' This led to the real-life adaptation by Breaker Confections, expanding the candy's appeal. Today’s jawbreakers come in various flavors and sizes, showcasing a candy-making technique called 'panning,' which can take days or weeks to execute, ensuring a colorful and lasting treat.
