individual jelly

Jelly beans are commonly sold in bags. Fruit spreads are typically packaged in jars or in squeezable bottles.

Net weights shown across the selection include: 7 ounces, 8 ounces, 9 ounces, 10 ounces, 17.1 ounces, 17.25 ounces, and 17.4 ounces.

The selection includes reduced-sugar spreads (one notes half the sugar and 20 calories per serving; another lists sugar reduced from 12 g to 5 g). Candies are listed at about 4 calories per bean. Some spreads state no added sugar or that they use natural sweeteners like dates.

Cinnamon jelly beans are described as having a pronounced hot-cinnamon flavor and a softer, chewier, jelly-bean–like texture. Reviewers note they are less likely to break teeth than hard cinnamon candies.

Suggested uses include pairing with peanut butter for PB&J, using as a glaze for grilled chicken or baked goods, serving with cheese or over crepes, blending into smoothies, and spreading on toast, yogurt, oats, or pancakes.
