Jelly Belly Easter Eggs

// February 28th, 2010 // No Comments » // Easter Candy, Licorice Candy

Easter is right around the corner and for me it has always been one of the most memorable candy holidays for me! I’ll review Jelly Belly Easter Eggs!

It is pretty clear that children love Jelly Belly Bean because of its’ fruity flavor and the fact that it’s jelly. Now they can enjoy it under the shape of an Easter Egg as well. And yes, the Jelly Belly Easter Eggs will come in all 50+ flavors.

I actually appreciate a candy factory that produces special treats for special occasions, such as Easter. I was never disappointed at Easter, as a small child, I loved the specially designed flavors and shapes of the traditional chocolate bunny.  It is so beautiful how the chocolate is set in the shape of a bunny and wrapped it in a colorful package. Although, as you know I’m not a big chocolate fan but Easter is the time where I do break out a little and try things! But mostly I enjoy jelly beans and flavored Jelly Belly’s.

Jelly Belly is available in 50 different flavors, as mentioned above, and all of them are naturally obtained. From French vanilla or Honey Bean to Licorice or Dr. Pepper, you can choose the one that you enjoy the most, or if you are tasting these delights for the first time, just take all of them and make a party out it.

The Jelly Belly Easter Eggs will have the same flavors but will also come with some new rookie flavors, specially designed for Easter. If the company realizes that people really enjoy a specific flavor, they will surely add it to the 50 flavor formation, making it 51, 52 or even more.  I would buy several pounds of Jelly Belly from all flavors and just sit down and test them all out, lol. I know there will be a ton of specials so I’ll try to post them soon!

Check out their contest for $10,000 in big beans!

Jelly Belly Licorice Mix

// January 12th, 2010 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Licorice Candy

Yep, that time again another Candy Tuesday with different flavors all the time! Check it out.

I was a bit hesitant before trying these Jelly Belly’s but they did surprise me as you’ve seen in the video. When I searched online to find the same bag it wasn’t available. At JellyBelly.com it’s possible they have replaced the name with the “bridge mix“. In the licorice bridge mix there are jelly beans, the candy covered soft jelly licorice drops and covered “seeds”. I’m sure its the same give and take away that soft gummy bear that was included in my bag! That was yummy.

The bag cost me almost $2.00 and I found it at Wal-Mart. There weren’t many left so I’m assuming that it is being discontinued. However, the  bridge mix is alive and from what I heard people like the taste. If you absolutely don’t like licorice you probably shouldn’t try it. But honestly its soft and not a strong licorice flavor as you might assume!

Panda Raspberry Licorice Chews

// September 22nd, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Candy Video Review, International Candy, Licorice Candy

Hmmm Yummy!! Check out my review of the most famous Finnish Candy Brand Panda!

I wasn’t a big licorice eater before I moved to Finland but with flavors like this raspberry how could anyone resist? My all time favorite Panda Licorice Chews or Sticks are banana and strawberry filled. However, I really like the all natural totally raspberry flavor.

You can buy these online or in a health foods store or probably even Wal-mart if you’re lucky! I prefer to buy from the Finnish Candy store SuomiKauppa (Finland Shop).

I’ve changed the size of the videos.. However, still not pleased with the outcome. Probably need to shop around for another cam..

Sour Electroshock Licorice

// October 14th, 2008 // No Comments » // International Candy, Licorice Candy

Today I have some international candy for Candy Tuesdays!! Right now I am visiting Spain and happened to get some goodies along the way. Enjoy the video!

As I said in the video, I normally do not eat licorice candy unless it has a fruity flavor such as these licorice straws with filling or without. The candy manufacturer is Fiesta and they do have a website in both English and Spanish. The Spanish candy website has most of the products which can be found at Fiesta.es. The English website (FiestaCandy.com) only seems to have chocolate rocks which is something very interesting.

The price for the package of four was 2 euros and as of today´s currency its $2.70. A bit expensive but it was well worth the taste. In most candy stores in Spain the licorice straws are popular and cost around 0.05 cents. However, the sour inside filling shocks is new and therefore priced more expensive than the rest.

The Sour Electroshock Flavors

• Strawberry
• Cola
• Apple

The translation for licorice in Spanish is Regaliz! I hope you´ve learned something new in the world of international candy! Enjoy
