Behind The Scenes Of Jellybeans

Ever wondered how those vibrant, chewy jelly beans come to life?

Let’s take a behind-the-scenes look at how these sweet treats go from sugary syrup to the colorful candy we all love! 🍬

The journey begins with a simple mix of sugar, corn syrup, and starch, heated into a thick, gooey base. Flavors and colors are added depending on the jelly bean type—whether it’s watermelon, cotton candy, or tutti-frutti!

From there, the mixture is poured into bean-shaped molds using a method called starch mogul molding. After drying, the jelly beans are sugar-panned—a process where they’re rotated in giant drums while layers of sugar are added. This is how they get their signature hard shell and satisfying crunch. 😋

Finally, they’re polished using confectioner’s glaze, which gives them that irresistible shine and smooth finish. ✨

Jelly beans are a favorite Easter candy, but they’re loved year-round by kids and adults alike. In fact, it can take up to 14 days to create just one jelly bean—talk about dedication to sweetness!

🍬 Did You Know? Over 16 billion jelly beans are produced just for Easter each year—enough to circle the globe more than three times!

Each one is crafted with care, coated in layers of color, and polished to perfection. From their bright, shiny shells to their sweet, chewy centers, jelly beans are like miniature masterpieces—made to be admired and enjoyed!
