Best Jelly Beans Brands to Get Ready for Easter, Taste-Tested and Ranked
This spring, our Test Kitchen went on the hunt. No, not an Easter egg hunt, but one for the very best jelly beans for filling up baskets and decorating festive treats.
It might seem silly, but at Taste of Home, we get serious about candy. When we’re craving sweets, we want them to hit the spot and we know you do too!

Best Fruit Flavors
Starburst Jelly Beans
If you ask our Test Kitchen, you can’t go wrong combining a favorite seasonal candy with one of the best fruit candies out there. The result is Starburst Jelly Beans, and we can’t get enough.
Inside each bag, you’ll find classic Starburst flavors like orange, cherry, lemon and strawberry as well as green apple and grape. “These are very bold and have a very lovely fruit flavor,” says Mark.
And these candies also deliver on appearance and texture. “These look and feel like a quintessential jelly bean,” says Deputy Editor Rachel Seis. They are uniformly shaped and the perfect amount of chew—the type of texture that keeps you going back for more and more.

Best Tart Jelly Beans
Skittles Original Jelly Beans
We all love sweet treats, but what if you want a little something extra? Try Skittles Orginal Jelly Beans.
These beans are smaller than most, but “they pack a wallop of flavor and some extreme tartness,” according to Rachel. That touch of tart and sour in addition to the Skittles flavors we all love is what kept our team going back into their baskets (OK, testing dishes) again and again.
