                                    Have you ever tried one of these?

Jawbreakers are hard candy shaped like spheres.  They are made in a variety of sizes, but all of them are made from sugar, water, corn syrup and food coloring. 

It takes several days to make jawbreakers.  They start out with a gum or sugar center ball and placed in a large round pan that turns.  Layers of sugar are poured on and given time to dry before another layer is added - this creates the layers that you see in the photo above.

It is suggested that you break a jawbreaker up into smaller bites to eat.  You can also lick and lick and lick it until it fits comfortably in your mouth.
