Description
The earliest reference to jelly beans is associated with Boston candy maker William Schrafft who urged people to send his jelly beans to Union soldiers fighting in the Civil War. Nothing helps ward off the discomfort of gangrene quite like a jelly bean, we guess.
Jelly beans became a wide-spread American treat in the early 20th Century, sold with other penny candies, and in the 1930�s the popular association of jelly beans and Easter was firmly entrenched in our culture, most likely due to the egg shape.
