Taste test: These mid-sized spherical candies were dark red overall, with some lighter, orangish areas, sort of a cross between Red Hots (hot and round but not chewy) and Hot Tamales (chewy but medicine capsule-shaped).
I bit in to find that they were indeed chewy and packed lots of cinnamon and a good kick of heat. As with Hot Tamales, I just couldn't stop eating these. Other tasters had the same problem, as they kept going back to the bag for more. Thankfully, the folks at Gimbal's packed quite a lot of LavaBalls into the bag.

Smell test: Fairly mild hot cinnamon type of smell.
From the package: “Chewy Hot Cinnamon Candy” ..."Molten Hot, Gimbal's LavaBalls are an eruption of Hot Cinnamon! Guaranteed to satisfy even the most serious fire eater. We dare you to experience the intense flavor, if you can stand the heat!”
