What it is
These are small, bean-shaped candies with a hard candy shell and a chewy, jelly-like center. They come in a variety of fruit flavors, offering a sweet and colorful treat. The smooth shell gives way to a soft interior, providing a satisfying texture contrast. Each bean is a burst of distinct fruity taste.

How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of your jelly beans fresh and prevent them from sticking together, store them in a cool, dry place. Ensure the original packaging is sealed tightly or transfer them to an airtight container. Avoid exposure to heat or direct sunlight, which can cause the candy shell to soften or melt.
