Jelly Belly flavour review #1

Hi, as you may know, I received an order of various items. Some of them were 100g bags of Jelly Belly jelly beans that I had chosen. I chose 9 flavours in all, my ultimate mix consists of 20 but more on that later...

One flavour we have already looked at, the Ice Cream Parlour mix, very nice. I will discuss the other eight now. Are you ready?

First one is...


Toasted Marshmallow. Very very nice, one of my favourites from this selection actually, tastes just like it says, quite a mellow flavour, I eat two beans at a time to get the full flavour impact. These make it into my ultimate custom mix for sure!


Cream Soda. The word I would use to describe this flavour is subtle. I was expecting a stronger flavour from this type, it tastes more sweet than anything, a bit of vanilla possibly. They're nice but don't quite make it into my ultimate custom mix.

 
Caramel Corn. Hmm this flavour doesn't quite mix with the other flavours very well. I'm not sure if it was the batch or the recipe but it was a little off the flavour you would expect. It's like they took the buttered popcorn flavour with sweetness added, it doesn't work till you've started to get your head around the flavour. You can taste where they're coming from eventually. They don't play nice with the other flavours so wouldn't be in my ultimate custom mix.


Bubblegum. Delicious! The flavour is similar to the original style bubblegum but a bit sweeter. A very nice flavour and very refreshing to the palate, nice strong hit of bubblegum too. These make it into my ultimate custom mix because of the strength of the flavour.


Strawberry Cheesecake. Very nice, a mellow strawberry hit, but they don't stand up to the flavour of Strawberry Sundae from the Ice Cream Parlour mix. I enjoy eating these, but they are better two at a time. These don't quite have the flavour to make it into my ultimate custom mix.


Very Cherry. Oh yeah, I love cherry flavour, and these beans have got it just right. This is one of the first flavours ever made by Jelly Belly and still popular, it is with me. It's hard to explain what the cherry flavour tastes like, slightly medicinal totally artificial just awesome. These naturally make it into my ultimate custom mix.


Candy Floss. Another one of those subtle flavours, nice but you need two to get the flavour going. I guess I shouldn't have put too much hope about these ones having a strong flavour because fairy floss doesn't really have much flavour to begin with. Like a very subtle but super sweet bubblegum flavour. Not bad but they don't make it into my ultimate custom mix.


Tutti Fruitti. When I was growing up Mum used to buy toothpaste that tasted exactly like these beans. I just so happen to like the flavour alot, so it doesn't bother me every time I eat these ones I think of toothpaste. Very fruity, very artificial flavour, just how I like it. Plus they are one of the most attractive beans in the Jelly Belly collection. They mix very well with the others and the flavour is very strong. These make it into my ultimate custom mix with bells on.

So, that's eight of the 50 plus flavours of Jelly Belly beans you can find. Hope you enjoyed it, I'll be back with more flavours in the future.
