When I was young we spent nearly entire weekends visiting our various grandparents. My maternal grandmother always had chocolate, but my other grandma truly had the key to my heart. She kept sour balls in her candy jar. Every time my husband and I travel I look in nearly every store we visit for these tasty little balls. I've found lots of other great old candies but have been constantly thwarted in my search for sour balls.

 

The cherry were my favorite, lemon definitely the most potent, and I also liked the lime ones. Actually, I loved them all. Of course now it seems like every other candy that comes out is sour, but they'll never beat the basic old sour balls. ~ Deb from Michigan
