Sainsbury's Kids Mini Jelly Beans

I quite like these jelly beans from Sainsburys even though they haven't got a mad strong flavour like other jelly beans. They don't taste particularly fruity but have got a lovely taste of their own, the yellow and green sweets taste quite zesty and they are the lime and lemon flavour but the orange, red and purple ones all taste quite the same. They are quite soft but they stay chewy for longer than you think, because they're mini you have to put quite a few in your mouth to get the same effect as 2 of the normal size jelly beans but that's nice because then you get all the flavours at once and they taste wicked like that. The coating on ...  Read the complete review

Ive always liked sweets, much more so than chocolate, but I try to ration myself due to saving my very fragile teeth. In an ideal world I would eat sweets all day long! I have always liked jelly babies, but they have never been my favorite sweets. This all changed when I tried Sainsbury's version of the jelly babies, they became my favorite sweets. Sainsburys sell little grab bags of sweets for approximately 39p each. A lot of the time they are on special offer, three for one pound. This is how I came to try them, I had picked up two other bags that I wanted and ended up trying the jelly babies just by chance. Jelly babies come in a small bag. The ...  Read the complete review

I often buy these Mini Jelly Beans because my granddaughters' all love them and as they are always on offer at three bags for £1 I think this is exceptional value considering the bags are 100g. The fact that the Jelly Beans are so small means you seem to get lots of sweets for your money and it's a very reasonable way of buying sweets especially if you have more than one child to buy for. My only complaint is the fact that there is very little variation in taste between the different colour Jelly Beans and this makes the whole eating experience very samey. For this reason I cannot eat a full packet of these despite the fact that I love Jelly ...  Read the complete review

On a recent trip to Sainsburys, their own brand sweets were on offer so I decided to stock up on a few varieties. These were duly dropped into the trolley along with a packet of the already reviewed jelly babies. ***The Appearance*** The jelly beans themselves are small in appearance and brightly coloured. Off the top of my head, the colours include yellow (lemon and banana), green (lime), red (blackcurrant and grape or similar) and orange (orange). From my bracketed descriptions, you've probably guessed that each of the colours has a slight fruity taste and is meant to represent specific types of fruit. ***The Taste*** Most of the jelly ...  Read the complete review

These jelly beans are fabulous value, as they are included in Sainsbury's ongoing 3 pack for £1 promotion. As a vegetarian, it is a nightmare trying to find sweeties that don't contain gelatine, as the vast majority of sweeties by big brands such as Haribo all contain gelatine. Therefore I was really excited when I found these jelly beans are suitable for vegetarian. They come in a variety of colours/ flavours, including lemon, orange, lime, cherry, and a purple one which I think may be passionfruit! The flavours are not nearly as wide-ranging as Jelly Belly Beans, and the taste is not quite as enjoyable. But bearing in mind they are a fraction of the ...  Read the complete review
