Super lazy and hate reading? Skip to the recipe.
Okay, so we now know what the story is with Atomic Fireballs. So let's make some.
Every single (every! single!) recipe for spicy cinnamon candy looks something like this. The important ingredient is cinnamon oil, which you can totally buy from Amazon.
