Jelly Beans

Jelly Beans are a popular favourite and there are several varieties to choose from. A Quarter Of, the online sweet shop, sell Assorted Gourmet Jelly Beans, Assorted Gourmet Jelly Beans Bucket, Blueberry Pie Gourmet Jelly Beans, Caribbean Coconut Gourmet Jelly Beans, English Blackberry Gourmet Jelly Beans, Granny Smith Apple Gourmet Jelly Beans and many more.

We have purchased jelly beans and loads of other retro-sweets from A Quarter Of for many years now. Their prices are surprisingly low and they deliver the sweets really fast and well-packaged.

The Jelly Beans from A Quarter Of cost just £1.97 for a quarter of a kilogram (just over 8.8 ounces).

Gourmet Jelly Beans

Many jelly bean lovers order Assorted Gourmet Jelly Beans which come in a jar (see picture on top right). This jar contains an assortment of delicious beans - including some flavours that A Quarter Of don't sell individually. The total list of flavours is: Strawberry, Majorca Tangerine, Raspberry, Granny Smith Apple, Popcorn, Pineapple Punch, Tutti Fruity, South Seas Kiwi, Passion Fruit, Sour Lemon, English blackberry, Peachy Pie, Butterscotch, Pear Sundae, Banana Split, Cola Fizz, Hawaiian Guava, Vanilla Ice Cream, Caribbean Coconut, Watermelon, Liquorice, Wild Cherry, Cinnamon and Island Punch. Enough for even the most demanding jelly bean addict!

Each jar of Gourmet Jelly Beans costs just £3.57 and contains roughly 200 jelly beans!

A very popular product is the Jelly Bean Machine (see picture on left) which is quite possibly one of the coolest things we've ever seen.The Jelly Bean Machine is the real McCoy - a proper, substantial Jelly Bean dispenser that you see out and about on the street. It measures a whopping 39cm x 19cm (15.5'' x 7.5''), and we think it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Unfortunately, we've been unable to find a supplier who currently have these in stock but we're still looking!

One personal favourite of ours and a flavour we can highly recommend is Caribbean Coconut Gourmet Jelly Beans. They are delicious coconut flavour juicy jelly beans from The Jelly Bean Factory. Not only do they taste fabulous but they are also gelatine-free. A Quarter Of sell them in 125 gram bags (that's an old 1/4 pound plus an extra 10%) so you can either just enjoy one flavour or you can buy a couple of bags and make your own customised selection of your favourite flavours.

A Bit About Jelly Beans

Jelly Beans are a type of confectionery that comes in many different (primarily fruit) flavours. They are small (the size of a red kidney bean or smaller) and usually have a hard candy shell and gummy interior.

The interior jelly of Jelly Beans traces its origin back hundreds of years to a candy called Turkish Delight, while the shell is essentially the same as that developed in the late 19th century for Jordan Almond candies. The two were brought together around the beginning of the 20th century. It was not until 1930 or so that jelly beans became an Easter candy, presumably from their resemblance to eggs.

The ingredients that give each bean its character are also relatively small in proportion and may vary depending on the flavor. These include natural and artificial flavors and colors, and, depending on the bean flavor, may include chocolate, coconut, fruit puree or juice, peanuts, vanilla, oils, cream, or freeze-dried egg, milk, or fruit powders.

Most jelly beans are sold as an assortment of about eight more or less standard fruit flavors. Assortments of "spiced" jellybeans and gumdrops are also available, which include a similar number of spice and mint flavors. The colors of jelly beans are also more or less standardized, and a fairly typical scheme is shown in the table to the right. Even horseradish, carrot and tomato variants exist.
