Jelly Belly company has taken five flavors of jelly beans and drenched them in dark chocolate!
These were just released in December. They call them Jelly Belly Jelly Bean Chocolate Dips™. You can get individual flavors in 2.8 oz. bags or a 5-Flavor Gift Box which includes Very Cherry, Raspberry, Strawberry, Coconut, and Orange. And, if you're really into these 16 oz. and even bulk options are available!
Each bean is dipped into decadent, rich, dark chocolate. According to their website, www.jellybelly.com, every Jelly Belly Chocolate Dips is just under 4 calories.
Jelly beans were born in America. They first appeared in the 1800s when penny candy became all the rage. Jelly beans were formed out of a variation of the jelly candy called Turkish Delight and then panned with a sugary coating.
In 1960, a candy maker by the name of Herman Goelitz Rowland expanded his family business, which was known for making candy corn, to include jelly beans, Chocolate Dutch Mints ™ and the first American made gummi bears. And in 1967, Ronald Reagan (as governor of California), brought fame and attention to the Jelly Belly jelly bean.
