Mom did a curbside order last week and they were out of stock on her beloved Brachs spiced jelly beans. They substituted in Jelly Bellies, which she does not like, so she gave them to me when I was over at her house for Easter.
Yum!!
I just got in to the bag a few minutes ago. I hadnt had them in years and had forgotten how dang tasty they are! Its also fun trying to guess the flavors.
The buttered popcorn is still freaky.
The juicy pear is still bangin
There is a tangerine (?) one that is super yum.
And there are some new sour flavors (meh).
The coffee (latte?) one is cool and surprised me after all the fruity ones
Overall, a very nice treat!

(17,000 posts)They have normal flavors and just enough of a shell. I think Brachs are a little too crunchy.

(24,274 posts)like Pina Colada, Cosmopolitan, etc. I've been buying those lately. My wife likes the Sours mix.
The buttered Popcorn has always been a favorite, too.

(36,412 posts)and I'm a happy camper. All the other flavors are amusing, but don't hold my interest long. Well, their orange jelly beans are pretty damn good, too.
FWIW, Jelly Belly has a history of being movers and shakers in the Republican party. Or should I say had, because I have no idea where they stood with the Tea Party, or all that orange anus shit.
