A standard bag of jelly beans gives you half a dozen flavours. The Jelly Bean Factory built its whole identity on giving you more than thirty.
A premium take on a classic format
The Jelly Bean Factory markets itself specifically as a gourmet jelly bean specialist, built around two ideas: genuine flavour, using real fruit juice and natural flavourings across much of the range rather than generic "fruit" flavouring, and genuine variety, offering a far wider flavour spread than the mixed bags found in most supermarkets.
The flavour range
- Fruit — watermelon, green apple, strawberry, blackcurrant, and other classic fruit profiles.
- Dessert-inspired — vanilla, toffee, cappuccino and similar bakery-style flavours.
- Novelty — cola, bubblegum, popcorn and other flavours built to mimic entirely different snacks.
From pick and mix staple to gift tins
Beyond loose pick and mix bins, The Jelly Bean Factory sells its range in branded gift tins and jars, making it as common as a gift item as it is a sweet-shop staple, and it has built a strong following well beyond the UK.
A gluten-free, veggie-friendly option
The range is gluten free and suitable for vegetarians, which has helped it become a default pick and mix choice for customers with dietary restrictions. You'll find it stocked in our sweet jars collection.
