Jelly Beans: A Timeless Easter Treat
When I was a child in the 60s and 70s, jelly beans were a cherished Easter tradition, appearing just once a year. My Easter basket always contained Brach’s jelly beans, while my aunt’s off-brand variety was less appealing. Like many, my favorite flavor was red, or cherry, and it still is. My second favorite was the black licorice jelly beans, which I enjoy even more now since I'm the only one at home who likes them!
Today, the choices for jelly beans are vast, perfect for filling Easter baskets with sweet surprises. Besides the classic Brach’s, Jelly Belly is probably the most celebrated brand. Jelly Belly gained national fame in 1980 when President Ronald Reagan, an avid jelly bean fan, kept a jar on his desk and on Air Force One. His fondness for these sweets caught the nation's attention, and suddenly everyone was curious about these flavorful, miniature jelly beans.
My introduction to Jelly Belly jelly beans in the 1980s was transformative. Each bean bursts with intense flavor. Luckily, Jelly Belly sells specific flavors like red cherry in bulk, so I can indulge whenever I like.
In our household, we have some favorite Jelly Belly flavors: root beer, cream soda, cinnamon, buttered popcorn, piña colada, and cherry. With 50 flavors available, there are plenty to choose from, though some, like jalapeño, are too adventurous for my taste.
Jelly Belly is also famous for Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans, popularized by the Harry Potter series. These unique flavors include earwax, dirt, and earthworm. According to Jelly Belly, these beans taste true to their names. Online reviews are mixed; some enjoy quirky flavors like grass, while others find ones like vomit to be quite repulsive.
While Jelly Belly is well-known, it's not the only option. Brach’s remains a staple, offering classic flavors and even jelly beans inspired by Smucker’s jam. You'll also find jelly beans flavored like Starburst, spiced varieties, mini versions, speckled ones, and even sugar-free options. One tip: pectin jelly beans are just another term for the standard ones you see on store shelves.
Bear in mind that each brand might flavor their colors differently. For instance, Brach’s purple jelly beans may be grape-flavored, but Gimbal’s might have a boysenberry twist.
Jelly beans are commonly found in charming gift containers during Easter and are often hidden inside hollow chocolate eggs or plastic eggs for Easter egg hunts.
Yet, the quintessential place for jelly beans remains the Easter basket. After all, what’s an Easter basket without them?
