FAIRFIELD, CALIF., Jan. 15, 2014 ­­— Jelly Belly® TABASCO® Jelly Beans smothered in dark chocolate debut at Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco.

A clever, new gift box makes this delectable and spicy treat a perfect gift for any TABASCO enthusiast or savory fan. Open the top to reveal the beans presented in a fun TABASCO bottle-shaped tray.  

TABASCO-flavored chocolate is popular among lovers of both spice and sweet. Jelly Belly TABASCO Dark Chocolate Covered Jelly Beans bring a chewy option to the mix. The texture of the chewy Jelly Belly jelly bean center combined with the layer of dark chocolate on the outside provides a new gourmet experience. Jelly Belly TABASCO Dark Chocolate Covered Jelly Beans are packaged in a gift box that echos the quality of the confections inside.

Jelly Belly Candy Company candy makers set out to develop a flavor so authentic that they sourced genuine TABASCO brand seasoning from the 145-year-old recipe created by McIlhenny Company of Louisiana. The Jelly Belly beans will ignite the taste buds with a punch that pepper sauce fans crave.

Jelly Belly TABASCO jelly beans are just as spicy as the iconic sauce itself. Enthusiasts will immediately recognize the pungent taste of red peppers, Avery Island salt and distilled vinegar, coupled with a subtle sweetness – but not too sweet – undertone from the jelly bean itself.

Jelly Belly beans are the leading gourmet jelly bean on the market made in more than 100 flavors. Jelly Belly TABASCO Dark Chocolate Covered Jelly Beans are peanut free, gluten free, vegetarian and OUD Kosher certified.
