The Top Ten Jelly Belly Flavors

Do you have a favorite Jelly Belly flavor? They've got over fifty of them, you know. Jelly Belly brand jelly beans first came to public attention when it was revealed that they were President Reagan's favorite candy. Overnight sales skyrocketed and due to the fact that they are some of the best-tasting candies in the world sales haven't come crashing through the atmosphere yet. Jelly Belly jelly beans have gotten a recent boost from their licensing deal with that massive onslaught on media of all kinds known as the Harry Potter phenomenon. Just in case you aren't familiar, the kids who populate Hogwarts love to munch on Bertie Botts brand jelly beans that have flavors such as ear wax and vomit. But enough of that. Let's get to one person's top ten list of the best Jelly Belly flavors of them all.

10. Tutti-Fruitti.

What flavor is tutti-frutti exactly? Who knows, but the conglomeration of sweet, fruity flavors that go into making foods called tutti-fruitti is on perfect display within the small encasement of a Jelly Belly jelly bean. Aside from the being the most splendidly decorated via its psychedelic color scheme, there is something for everyone as the flavor explosion sends shrapnel of deliciousness against your taste buds.

9. Jalapeno.

I typically don't care for sweet alongside my spicy, but in the case of Jalapeno Jelly Belly candies I make an exception. The lingering tang of the peppery spice of the chile is just potent enough to add a dash of delirious pleasure when combined with several of the other flavors.

8. French Vanilla.

Of course, French Vanilla isn't really a flavor until itself. I mean French Vanilla has a delicate sense that makes it taste slightly different dependent upon its medium: say, ice cream or cake frosting. The French Vanilla Jelly Belly can, therefore, be combined with a variety of other Jelly Belly flavors to add an exciting French twist to any other flavor.

7. Top Banana.
