Jelly Belly goes veggie
NEW YORK — Next month, prepare to see veggies in a new way.
Jelly Belly is launching its Peas & Carrots mix — mellocreme candy inspired by everyone’s favorite veggies, but the "baby carrots" are an orange sherbet flavor, while the "peas" taste like apple.
Jelly Belly’s Peas & Carrots mix will be available in 3-oz. bags, 8.5-oz. tie-top bags and a retro 5.5-oz. "can," that’s reminiscent of canned peas and carrots typically found on grocery store shelves.
