(I never tried the 2021 version [thanks supply chain issues], but I know Brach&#8217;s got rid of my favorite flavors from 2020, ginger-glazed carrots and sweet potato pie, and kept the worst ones, stuffing and green bean.)<\/p>\n<p>For 2022, the jelly bean brand is treating\/trolling us with another bonkers product: Late Night Taco Truck Jelly Beans. It&#8217;s an Easter candy that also works for April Fools&#8217; Day.<\/p>\n<p>There are six flavors, so let&#8217;s dive 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\/2022\/02\/tacotruckjb2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Brach s Late Night Taco Truck Jelly Beans Row\" title=\"tacotruckjb2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The margarita, green with no spots, has a strong citrus flavor. As a teetotaler, I have never had a margarita, but I love this jelly bean! Its flavor feels classier than a typical lime or orange candy. 9 out of 10.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Churro, brown with white spots, has a faint cinnamon flavor, but I wouldn&#8217;t say it&#8217;s like a churro. It vaguely tastes like some kind of fried treat, but I wouldn&#8217;t guess that if I didn&#8217;t know. I still like it, though. 7 out of 10.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Salsa, light red with dark red spots, is fascinating. I taste tomatoes! I taste peppers! It has a mild kick, and it really does taste like salsa. It&#8217;s not my first choice for a jelly bean flavor, but I also don&#8217;t dread it. 6 out of 10.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>The beef taco flavor looks like a tortilla, off-white with yellow or brown spots. I get a slight beef flavor, but it mostly tastes like taco seasoning. That sounds gross, but it isn&#8217;t. 6 out of 10.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Guacamole, green with green spots, has a taste that reminds me of Southeast Asian food. I think that&#8217;s the cilantro talking. I like cilantro, so I don&#8217;t know how this would be for people who think the herb tastes like soap. I detect a mild kick, perhaps onion. It doesn&#8217;t really taste like avocado to me, but it&#8217;s a perfectly acceptable bean. 7 out of 10.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>And horchata, white, has a strong cinnamon flavor. It tastes more like a churro than the churro one does. This is not the cinnamon that you&#8217;d expect from a red jelly bean, but more like actual ground cinnamon you&#8217;d find in horchata. It&#8217;s my favorite of the bunch. 9 out of 10.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\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\/2022\/02\/tacotruckjb3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Brach s Late Night Taco Truck Jelly Beans Pile\" title=\"tacotruckjb3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I tried to recreate a taco by combining the salsa, guacamole, and beef taco flavors. The salsa dominated. Then I tried all six flavors together, and once again, salsa dominated, with a little more sweetness. This batch is best savored one flavor at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Are there better-tasting jelly bean assortments out there? Absolutely. But none of these flavors are truly gross, and they&#8217;re so fun that I can overlook the weirdness.<\/p>\n<p>If your experience with the turkey dinner candy corn scares you away, don&#8217;t let it.
