This is a fascinating little "virtual tour" of the production process for Atomic Fireball spicy cinnamon candies. I don't eat sugar, but I'm really taken by the idea of making candies by rotating them in a drum of liquid sugar for an entire week until they size up to a full inch.
The candy maker, called the "panner," adds liquid sugar to the rotating pan.
This liquid sugar sticks to each grain of sugar, making a hard candy shell.
This process is repeated more than 100 times over a two week period, increasing the size of the Atomic Fireball to a one inch ball.
