Jelly Belly on the Red Carpet


© Nicholas Moreau

A year's supply of Jelly Belly jelly beans, a 14-carat gold plated Jelly Belly Bean Machine and some Champagne Bubbles, jells with white wine flavoring, all from Jelly Belly Candy Company, were recently included in the 77th Annual Academy Awards gift baskets.

The celebrities will receive a collection of the company's gourmet jelly beans made in 50 official flavors. To keep their stash of beans, a beautiful golden jellybean dispenser with etched glass bowl atop a mahogany base makes a glitzy Hollywood statement. In addition, Jelly Belly Candy Company makes over 100 fine confections, including to-die-for Champagne Bubbles, a lush jell with white "bubbly" nonpareils.

Do you remember? Jelly Belly jelly beans were first discovered by Hollywood insiders in 1977 and soon came to public awareness when President Ronald Reagan took them on his campaign in 1980 and to the White House in 1981. Blueberry flavor was created so the 3½ tons of Jelly Belly beans that went to Washington would all be red, white and blue. Very Cherry, Coconut and Blueberry remain some of the most popular flavors.
