What it is

The assortment often features a variety of pastel colors, making them visually appealing. The texture contrast between the hard shell and the soft interior is a key characteristic of this confection. They are designed to be a fun and sweet treat.

These jelly bird eggs are primarily used as a decorative element or a standalone sweet.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their freshness and crispness, store any unused candies in an airtight container at room temperature. Keep them away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture. Proper storage will prevent the candy shells from becoming soft or the jelly center from drying out.
