SPOTTED ON SHELVES (JELLY BEAN EDITION) – 2/28/2017

/ / Spotted on Shelves

Here are some new jelly beans found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers. If you’ve tried any of them, share your thoughts in the comments.

Brach’s Island Fruit Jelly Beans

Throw these into a candy jar and tell everyone they’re Jelly Belly. I wonder if your co-workers would know they’re not. If you do this, might I suggest a spoon to scoop them out. Because while your co-workers won’t know they’re not Jelly Belly, you won’t know which co-workers don’t wash their hands after going to the restroom. (Spotted by Rachel C at Harmons.)

Now and Later Jellybeans

How about Lemonhead Jelly Beans, Ferrara Candy Company? Oh wait, never mind. They already exist. (Spotted by Rachel C at Macey’s.)

Black Forest Organic Jelly Beans

Trolli Sour Brite Gummi Beans

During my research into finding out if these were new, I learned Trolli Sour Brite Gummi Beans were released last spring. But there is something new about them this year — lime was added. (Spotted by Rachel C at Macey’s.)
