Dubbed "lollipops for the new generation" by the company, Jelly Belly's LolliBeans are one of the company's newest products and were promoted at the SF Fancy Foods Show along with their new pomegranate jelly beans. Lollipops are hardly innovative, as far as candy goes, but the company seems surprisingly excited about these pops. Each one is shaped like a very large (over 1 inch long) jelly bean and is embossed with the famous Jelly Belly logo, and 10 flavors - very cherry, watermelon, sizzling cinnamon, strawberry cheesecake, cotton candy, blueberry, tangerine, bubblegum, grape and lemon - all of which are as true-to-life as the original Jelly Bellys are.
Perhaps if I had picked up a Strawberry Cheesecake pop instead of a lemon I would have been more impressed, but this was simply a good - not fantastic - piece of candy.
The Lollibeans are available at candy and gourmet stores nationwide and will probably be more widely available as we head into Easter.

I'm sure these are wonderful--like all Jelly Bellys, it's all about choosing the right flavor for your palette. JB's flavor scientists are top-notch.

I got Sizzling Cinnamon, Watermelon, and Root Beer at Ace Hardware yesterday. They're larger than I expected! (J.Ho, I didn't see a Buttered Popcorn pop.)
