Appleheads are the cousins of Lemonheads and Grapehads. They are small apple flavored balls that are a little bit tart with a strong apple taste. If you like a bit of tart and not too sour, and like apple flavor, you will love these!
They are a tasty twist on Lemonhead candies – but with a powerful apple flavor instead of lemon. They have a hard sugar shell coating with a medium chewy candy center.
