Easter and Jelly candy go hand-in-hand! When the Turkish delight first appeared in the U.S. no one can say for sure, but it was the basis of the gum drop, made in the early 1800s. In the 1860s, someone in Boston put a hard sugar shell on the delight and sent it to the Union soldiers. That became known as the “jelly bean.” About a century later, the humble jelly bean evolved once again into the classic Jelly Belly. Our Easter Jelly Mix comes in a 6 oz bag with the history on the label. Comes with a True Treats Easter card!
