The jelly center isn’t really flavored, but does have a slight tang to it (yes, I managed to just nibble off the shell on a few of them). They’re kind of like Lemonheads in that respect, except not as sour.
But then I really started to enjoy cleaving off parts of the shell in my mouth before chewing the rest up. It takes a little getting used to, because at first it feels like the bean is past its prime or something. Dextrose is the same sugar used to make SweeTart and other compressed sugar candies. The ingredients lists dextrose as one of the main ingredients. They’re a little crumbly and a little cool on the tongue. Instead of just being a flavored sugar shell, these feel different. They candy shell on them isn’t like any other jelly bean I’ve had. They’re also not terribly regular in size and shape, with the colors sometimes looking a little faded in spots and other little bloops of other colors in them. The colors are typical of an assortment of highlighter pens (well, the purple one just wasn’t photographing well, it’s much more lilac that the photo makes it appear). Unlike the Lifesavers Jelly Beans that made up flavors to include in the bag, the SweeTart Jelly Beans stick to the regular SweeTart flavors: Grape, Cherry, Orange, Lemon, Green Apple and Blue Punch. I carefully chose a bag that looked like it had lots of yellow ones in it (the others looked very pink). Luckily they were on sale ($1.50 a bag instead of $2.29) at RiteAid. So I went out last night looking for them. (Actually, readers have been telling me this for a year, but I was hoping to catch them on sale after Easter last year, but wasn’t so lucky.) After the review of Lifesavers Jelly Beans, I kept hearing that the SweeTart Jelly Beans were also very good.
