That. <\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, they never got back to me.

Then again, I found out they were hard at work mimicking Krispy Kreme donuts and I immediately let it slide.<\/p>\n<p>Krispy Kreme is a treat. I don\u2019t have one nearby so I envy anyone who can stop in and pick up a dozen whenever they want. I usually have to wait until I hop a train to NYC to get my fix, but they\u2019ve never let me down. Now you\u2019re telling me they\u2019re teaming up with \u201cTHE original gourmet jelly bean?\u201d I\u2019m in.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Jelly-Belly-Krispy-Kreme-Doughnut-Jelly-Beans-2.jpg?resize=599%2C310&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jelly Belly Krispy Kreme Doughnut Jelly Beans 2\" title=\"Jelly Belly Krispy Kreme Doughnut Jelly Beans 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"310\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here are my quick reviews of the five flavors included in the Jelly Belly-Krispy Kreme mix:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cinnamon Apple Filled<\/strong> \u2013 Beige with brown \u2013 These tasted like apple pie. The taste starts as a normal sweet apple Jelly Belly, but is soon met with a dulling cinnamon flavor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strawberry Iced<\/strong> \u2013 Pink with a little sheen \u2013 These tasted just like strawberry cake icing. Unlike a normal strawberry flavor, it\u2019s not very acidic or fruity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Glazed Blueberry Cake<\/strong> \u2013 Basically a darker shade of the Cinnamon Apple \u2013 These tasted like a complex blueberry muffin. I got &#8220;baked goods&#8221; in this more than the others. They were definitely the \u201cdonutiest,\u201d which is absolutely a word. Don\u2019t bother looking it up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles<\/strong> \u2013 Brown with a few sprinkle dots \u2013 These tasted like what I recall Chocolate Pudding Jelly Belly beans tasting like. I might actually say they were \u201cFudgsicle\u201d flavored.<\/p>\n<p>And now, it\u2019s time for the Krispy Kreme staple. The bean you\u2019ve all been waiting for:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Original Glazed<\/strong> \u2013 Color and sheen match the donut \u2013 These were really disappointing. Wow. I just didn\u2019t get much here. I realize glaze is essentially just sugar, but that\u2019s all I tasted &#8211; sugar. Maybe they slipped some Advil beans in for me instead? I didn\u2019t really find them distinctly Krispy Kreme donut. I wanted to be immediately reminded of a hot conveyer belt glazed, but I got more of a toasted marshmallow vibe. I feel like I\u2019m wrong, but I gotta trust my buds. What did I miss? <\/p>\n<p><strong>My Ranking:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Glazed Blueberry Cake <\/p>\n<p>Strawberry Iced<\/p>\n<p>Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles<\/p>\n<p>Cinnamon Apple Filled<\/p>\n<p>Original Glazed<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n<p>Despite my clamoring for the sugary Advil, this mix got cloying in time. I appreciate the larger Jelly Belly variety boxes because you can counter flavors like this with say a citrusy fruit flavor. You need that balance if you wanna consume mass beanage &#8211; which is also absolutely a word.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Jelly-Belly-Krispy-Kreme-Doughnut-Jelly-Beans-3.jpg?resize=449%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jelly Belly Krispy Kreme Doughnut Jelly Beans 3\" title=\"Jelly Belly Krispy Kreme Doughnut Jelly Beans 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"449\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As far as the \u201cdonut\u201d of it all, I popped all five at once and found that brought a lot of the pastry effect out.<\/p>\n<p>You might wanna wait to see if these break into the bigger mixes before dropping $5 on this box.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 27 Beans \u2013 110 calories, 0 grams of fat, 20 milligrams of sodium, 27 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 20 grams of sugar (+20g added sugars), and 0 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $5.00<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 4.25 oz.<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Five Below<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Some cool new flavors to add to the roster.
