Inside the technicolor factory where Jelly Belly makes its beans Jelly Belly has mastered making flavors so real they can confound the senses.

Crafting a perfect jelly bean takes a week or more. That’s because—at least as far as Jelly Belly is concerned—flavor demands time. Each bite-size gem starts with a slurry of sugar, water, cornstarch, and corn syrup to which candymakers add juices, purees, and other ingredients they want the finished treats to evoke. Watermelon candies start with bright pink juice, coconut ones require fresh flakes, pureed fruit provides the sweet tang of peach, jalapeños deliver the burn of true chilis, and so on for every one of the brand’s 100-plus flavors. As the goodies wend their way through the company’s 250,000-square-foot factory an hour north of San Francisco, a team of about 200 confectioners slather on at least six more layers of flavor and shine. Around two dozen varieties meander through the wonderland at any given time, netting some 1.25 million tasty temptations every hour.

The perfect present for the obsessive compulsive you hate (or maybe live). I saw it in the store and had the urge to buy it and sort out the flavors.

Some of the best flavors ever. Then there’s buttered popcorn. Gag!

Not to order on-line. Some items are marked members only but not most.

You can go in as guest or have a member ‘give’ you a gift card.

OTOH, the membership is the best deal in town.

Using their CC doubles the manufacturer’s warranty on everything.

Costco’s no hassle return policy best hands down!

We bought two electric bikes but wife fell andd decided never again. Rolled hers into the store after two months and got a full refund.
