Jelly Belly Jelly Beans are the World’s Number One Gourmet Jelly Bean

Way back in 1976 the first jelly belly jelly beans were produced in Los Angeles California. The recipes were geared toward getting a “true-to-life” flavor by using natural ingredients whenever possible. This resulted in the first eight flavors: very cherry, lemon, cream soda, tangerine, green apple, root beer, grape, and licorice. These flavors are still among the most popular today.

These jelly beans are heralded as the best in th world, and have had a star studded history. These were the favorite jelly bean of former president Ronald Reagan. These were also the first jelly bean to be weightless, because president Reagan sent them up on the challenger in 1983 as a surprise to the astronauts. The blueberry jelly beans were even created for president Reagan, so he could serve red, white, and blue jelly beans at his inaugural parties.

Today these jelly beans come in fifty official flavors. There are also many recipes using combinations of these flavors put into your mouth at the same time to create even more flavors, like peanut butter and jelly, and root beer float. Buy yourself a box today and make up your own flavor.
