Jelly Beans

What is it?

Hard candy shell, soft jelly centre, assorted fruit flavours, and a small bean shape that’s easy to tip into the hand or a bowl. These confectionery pieces usually come in strawberry, lemon, lime, orange, grape, and pineapple, with each colour linked to a flavour. The shell gives a brief snap before the chewy centre takes over. In Allen's lineup, they sit alongside other classic lollies like snakes and milk bottles, but the format is the familiar jelly bean one. They’re sold as a shared snack and often turn up in Easter mixes, where the mix of colours and flavours is part of the setup.
