Gimbal's Gourmet Jelly Bean Jar, 40 oz.

I reviewed these earlier. My family loves them especially the one in Florida.

Best jelly beans ever

Flavors are strong and sweet and do change with mixing to interesting and good tastes. Texture is between branches and JB. Sweetness is like starburst jelly beans. If you are looking for a replacement for JB I would say don’t, unless you are giving to kids that don’t know the difference. They were good just not what I was looking for as an alternative.

I have ordered 4 containers of the Gimbal's jelly beans from this company. The order has arrived without incident. Packages are undamaged and sealed. The beans did stick a little on two of the products, but quickly broke apart and there was no affect on the jelly beans. I use these for school events as "almost every flavor beans" and everyone loves them. There are always a few flavors that someone may not like, but that is the fun of them. You never know which you like until you try one. I have found the beans at a local store for less money, but they don't always have Gimbals available.

I have been buying Gimbal’s jelly beans for many years. I always bought them from Walgreens. They came in bags and I always bought many bags. I like to have a dish of them for when my grandchildren would visit. I ran out and Walgreens didn't have anymore. So I checked the Amazon site and found some. I ordered a 40 oz jar for myself. And I few days later a jar for my granddaughter to take to college . What a disappointment. They were stuck together and as you can see from the picture not very nice looking. They must be rejects. I would not buy again . I will wait for Easter and buy the bags from Walgreens. Very disappointed.

I'm a big Jelly Belly fan so deviating from that brand means the product HAS to be good to compete. This is!The texture is a little softer so at first, you think they might be mediocre, but the flavor is excellent. Solid taste through the whole jelly bean and it lasts. Makes you want to eat them one at a time because they're so good.This jar has a great mix from rich marshmallow, to tart berry, to tangy citruses.I may be a convert from the JB brand after this jar.

Everyone has their own opinion. Mine is that these just are not that good. I got these and Kirkland Jelly Bellies for my family on Valentine's Day. The consensus among the four of us was that these compared poorly. Less intense flavor; a bit of an off odor; just not as good. And I was hoping that the Gimbal's would be an improvement over JB and something of a "find." Not the case. Too bad. Can't believe I'm actually writing a review about jelly beans.

The best jelly beans ever! So many different flavors and the price is right.
