What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this hard candy for its intense, juicy, long-lasting fruity flavors that evoke strong nostalgia and childhood memories. The original lineup—cherry, watermelon, green apple, grape, and blue raspberry—is celebrated for authenticity and boldness, with reviewers noting distinct, true-to-fruit taste experiences. Blue raspberry, watermelon, and cherry emerge as favorites. Most consider it the best hard candy available, with consistent enjoyment across generations. A small group reports frustration with uneven flavor distribution in bags, occasionally receiving bags dominated by one flavor with few alternatives, though these concerns remain minor within an otherwise highly satisfying product experience.

Favorite hard candy!
Delicious! Good variety of flavors, and all of them are good versions of their flavor. Last long enough to satisfy sugar cravings I may have. The blue raspberry is especially good!

Amazing candy
This is elite candy, the blue raspberry and watermelon are amazing flavors and a bunch of them come in the bag. Only downside is if you hold it in your hand for too long they'll melt and get sticky.

The best!
This is the best hard candy of all time. Watermelon and Blue raspberry are my favourites. Could quite happily eat the whole bag in one go. Love them

Good flavors but a bit too strong
Fruity but sometimes the flavors come off a little too strong or artificial. Storage is easy since the bag reseals but the candies can stick together in warmer temperatures. Small enough for a quick treat though a few pieces feel a bit tiny. Consistency is hard and crunchy as expected but some pieces can be a little sticky. Smells nice at first but can be overpowering if you open the whole bag. Decent for a quick candy fix but not my favorite.

Sweet, Fruity, and Sour
I absolutely love the taste of all flavors of these Jolly Ranchers! They smell exactly like the fruit and flavor and are super delicious. You can eat almost the whole package in one sitting and good for sharing with friends and family. They are hard and can be a little uncomfortable for people with braces!

Cinnamon Jolly Ranchers
The cinnamon flavor was my favorite. Whenever I had a sore throat I would suck on a cinnamon Jolly Rancher and my throat felt better. Please bring them back.

Where’s the Fire Stix
I am supremely disappointed about the decision Hershey has made dropping Fire Stix from your Jolly Rancher line. It has been a favorite since I was a kid. So far I find nothing as a substitute. Please reconsider bringing Fire Stix back!

Cinnamon Fire

Intense and fruity candies that stand out for thei
Jolly Rancher are hard candies with an intense and long-lasting flavor that really stand out. Their texture is firm, they do not stick easily and allow you to enjoy them for longer. The fruity flavors are vibrant, especially watermelon and green apple. The aroma is fresh and pleasant from the moment you open the bag. In addition, the packaging is practical and keeps the candies well preserved. I think the price is fair for the quality and quantity that the package brings, ideal to share or to ha...

Cinnamon fire and green apple
Please bring back the cinnamon fire and green apple flavors. They were the best and a favorite of mine for over 65 years! There’s nothing better than those original flavors. I’m not impressed with the new flavors. I want the originals back, PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!

Jolly Rancher Hard Candy
Is there any way to put together bags with just green apple and watermelon only. When you buy the assortment it is hardly any those flavors in there. Hate spending all that money on a big bag and don't many of those two flavora.

No fire, no purchasing
Clearly I am not alone in wanting fire ranchers back. As the company seems to be uninterested in what customers want....I will no longer support the brand.
