SWEETS

Jelly beans
  • Are a hard candy shell and have a gummy interior.
  • The earliest known appearance of the jelly bean was during the American Civil War when William Schrafft of Boston promoted sending the candy to soldiers in the Union Army.
  • It was not until 1930 that jelly beans became an easter candy, presumably from their resemblance to Easter eggs.

    Jelly beans are delicious. I love how there are so many different flavors. My favorite is the blueberry and butter popcorn. Have you ever had Harry Potter jelly beans? My teacher in 6th grade gave them to me. They are so nasty. They are flavored with gross things such as grass, garbage, eggs, bacon, etc.
