Just Born - same company that makes Peeps - I have not found them yet this year

This is what I get, too. Well, used to get. No more delicious little sugar bombs for me.

Jelly belly cherry. Love them.

The black pepper one haunts my memories.

the kids gave one to an uncle who took a couple bites and spat it out yelling 'this tastes like boogers!'-to which we responded 'and you know this how??????'

Black jelly beans. I love licorice. Otherwise any red cherry-flavored jelly bean is my pick.

I don't like any jelly bean, but for the family at Easter, I get the big container of Starburst.
And usually a bag of black ones for DH....any brand I can find, usually Brachs

I like the booze flavored ones. No real booze, but taste kinda like some cocktails.

I remember going to an event in Fairfield, California. They had the Jelly Belly stunt plane and were giving away draft beer flavored jelly beans. They clearly said no alcohol and they weren't made with real beer flavor, but they only gave them away to adults for some reason. I think their strawberry daiquiri flavor was just fruit and there were some like Champagne.

See’s Candies jelly beans are my favorites. I gobble them up. They have good fruit flavor and just the perfect squishiness.

I love so many of the Jelly Belly flavours, but not all. I'm in heaven when I encounter a candy store that has those towers of separate flavours that you can bag up yourself to make your own mix. My bag will always include pina colada, island punch, toasted marshmallow and buttered popcorn, rootbeer, green apple and pear.

I think I've tried all of these. Once I found small bags of them for a quarter each (something like 90% off) at a supermarket where they were on closeout. But before then I had the box with the spinner to select the flavor to try.

Starburst are my favorite ones!!

I like some Jelly Belly flavors, but dislike others ( = ) so I don't normally buy them in bags. The make-your-own-mix tubes are cool, though.

For food old-fashioned Brachs, I like the orange best.

Why does Brach’s call them Jelly Bird Eggs?


Are these the ovum of the avian species known as Birdus Jellius?

In my cranky old age, those candies are in the same league as Peeps, straight into the trash can.

Not a big fan of jelly beans. We have a local place that is known for chocolate but makes jelly beans. I’ve heard they aren’t making them this year because there is an ingredient they get from the Ukraine that they can’t get and nothing they tried to use to substitute has met their standards. My DH loves those jelly beans. My kids like them too. I buy a bag for each of them every year.

I believe teh term is used for hte larger jelly beans as opposed to the smaller, Jelly Belly style.

Black Jelly Beans. I don‘t care what brand. LOVE them, but haven’t had them in a long time.

 

[dizneegirl]

Black here, too.

 

[BrianL]

Black here, too.

I never hated the black ones, which worked out as a kid as everyone would give me theirs. Personally I prefer to have real black licorice though. I do love it.

Those Bertie Botts' have gone too far. "Sasquatch Kisses", "Rusty Faucet", "Circus Peanuts", "South End of a Northbound Ogre". Too. Far.

Starburst original and Brach's black jelly beans.
