Few things in life are more enjoyable that a sweet treat. Jelly Belly jellybeans are one of my favorite treats. They have every flavor you can think of. And if they don’t just wait a little while and they will. They are constantly testing and releasing new flavors. Buttered Popcorn is my favorite. I haven’t had a chance to try the sport beans yet but they look interesting.
We have been to the factory in Fairfield, California three times now. Every time we go anywhere near San Francisco, my husband gets all excited like a little kid. I always plan the routes we take on vacation. So if we are going to northern California he starts in on me, “Can we go to Jelly Bellies? Can we? Huh, huh? Can we?” That’s why we’ve been three times now. It is a fun factory tour to go on and it’s free.
The quality of your tour will depend on the tour guide you get, but that’s true of any place you go that has guided tours. It is a very interesting experience. You will learn about each step in the process of making Jelly Belly beans. On part of the tour, you also learn about other types of candy that is made there. Did you ever wonder how they get the “Jelly Belly” name so perfectly on each bean? Or how they get the beans so shiny? You’ll find out on this tour.
The tours fill up fast, but the tour operators have it down to a science and the groups have moved through quickly the times that we have been there. Your kids will love it. The factory is very colorful as you can imagine. There is a store to buy all kinds of candy, including Jelly Belly beans, and just about any other kind of candy you can think of. They also sell T-shirts and other souvenirs. My favorite part is the chocolate store. There is also a good sized snack bar if you are there at lunch time or just want a break.
If you are a Jelly Belly fan like we are, or are new to Jelly Belly, don’t miss out on the Jelly Belly Belly Flops. The irregular jelly beans with the same regular, wonderful flavors. They taste exactly the same as regular Jelly Bellys. Belly Flops are the Jelly Bellys that are stuck together or misshapen or the name didn’t get printed on the bean. You can buy these in the gift shop at the factory or on line if you are not close to the factory. You can save some money and get the same flavor by purchasing Belly Flops. It’s well worth it in my opinion. We usually get at least 2 bags when we visit the factory.
