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.

Jolly Ranchers are long lasting, hard fruit flavor

Jolly Ranchers hard candy is known for its bold fruity flavors, bright colors, and long-lasting sweetness. Each piece slowly dissolves, giving a strong, intense taste that many people enjoy over time.

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!

I love these

Large size, plenty to share or have over a period of time. Great strong flavours that are so sweet and delicious. Sometimes they can get stuck in your teeth.

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

As a cinnamon lover, you guys had the brass ring of candies in the Fire pieces. Honestly, I cannot understand why you would discontinue this line. Please bring it back!!! Please.

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...

Favorite Hard Candy 🍬

Jolly ranchers are my absolute favorite sweet treat at work! I love the assortment of flavors, the freshness, and how long they last! I have lots of little snacks on my desk but all my coworkers enjoy getting their favorite color jolly rancher!

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.
