The Jelly Bean Planet, Gourmet Jelly Beans Bulk 42.5 Oz Jar - 36 Natural Fruit Flavors, Kosher Candy, Plant Based Colors - Gluten Free Jellybeans Easter Candy Gift, Allergen Friendly Basket Stuffers

These jelly beans are incredible. I'm a fan of the fact that they use natural color and flavor ingredients. They don't have the same intensity as brands that use artificial flavoring, but I kinda like that. The texture is also a bit denser and chewier than other jellybeans, but I like that aspect, too. It makes eating only a few at a time feel more satisfying. The variety of flavors are phenomenal. The typical fruit varieties, but some more rich flavors like butterscotch and salted caramel, as well. I keep a jar of these on my desk at work.

All the flavors are delicious and to know that they are all natural and no artificial colors is such an added bonus.

These jelly beans came in a nice plastic jar with a screw off lid with a handle. There are VERY MANY flavors. I tried several and they taste great. I have no idea what the folks who gave negative reviews got but these are fine. They are very chewy but I expected that. The kids will love them, too. Perfect for putting in eggs for the hunt.

Would give 5 star ex pet for the price as they are very expensive. Good quality and tasty. Happy to find a product that my grandson can eat with using red 40. Thank you and we all enjoyed these at Easter. I will buy more just wish the price was lower. My daughter thought the jelly bean planet was a really good name and sounds like an exciting place to visit!!!

Great taste fresh soft to chew

I purchased this for a quick snack. The first day of a couple of fist full was ok. The flavor was sugary but acceptable. But, one of the jelly beans I picked up the next day was utterly disgusting. As I bit into it, it felt like a bean full of liquid rather than solid candy. By the time I realized that it was too late. The jelly bean released an exceptionally acidic and very bitter ”juice”. It numbed my tongue and I nearly threw up. It was nothing short of disgusting! I don’t know what was in it, but it felt rotten and corrosive and very very bitter. Washing my mouth with water didn’t help. I proceeded to brush my teeth, and the interaction between that liquid and toothpaste made it feel worse. I followed up with mouthwash and couldn’t get rid of the terrible taste. I did experience a strong burning sensation on top of the bitterness. A closer look at the container showed that these are not made in the US. God knows what actually goes into them, and what level of cleanliness and food safety measures are in place. Based on my experience, it must be anything but good. I threw away the container of this product, and couldn’t imagine how something like that could happen. Whatever was in the bean was very potent. The jar was +98%full when it went to the garbage bin. In hindsight, I should have looked for additional defective beans based on how they felt when very gently squeezed (felt like a rubber balloon with liquid inside), but at that moment of feeling sick, all I wanted was to get rid of them. I know I will avoid this brand. It completely ruined our evening, and I am sure it wasn’t the only bad one in the jug. For now and foreseeable future, I can’t even imagine eating any jelly beans. Yes, the experience was that bad.

Not very flavorful for the high price

I was surprised at the size. Flavors were good. I like that it's gluten free GMO free dairy free. It would be nice if there more options to buy in bulk
