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.

Go ahead and feel like a kid again! Jolly Rancher has awesome flavors and feel like magic in your mouth lol. Every now and then you have to treat yourself to some candy! I love that they come individually wrapped so I can toss a couple in my purse if I’m heading out the door. They are still a reasonably priced for the amount that you receive in a bag. Go on and treat yourself to some Jolly Rancher’s today and don’t forget to share them! 🥰

3 Original Flavors
I grew up in Arvada Co. Jolly Rancher was a block from middle school. I remember smelling the individual candies being made daily. Green Apple, Watermelon and Cinnamon. During Halloween, the company employees would line up on Ward Rd. and pass out small bags with imperfect Jolly Ranchers to the cars passing by. A bag per person. Great memories. And then Hershey had bought the company. And years later. BAM-In 2002, Hershey closed the Arvada, Colorado plant and moved the manufacturing of the c...

Bad choices.
I bought a mixed bag. I realize this and expected it to be a variety of flavors. What is disappointing is that over half the bag was blue raspberry. This must be how the get rid them. As they are awful and no one would intentionally buy them. Seriously disappointed for the amount spent to have to throw away half of the product.

no control over assortment of flavors???
65 candies = 27 Blue Raspberry, 21 Watermelon, 7 cherry, 5 grape and 5 green. Green are my favorite. I like the others, but there needs to be more quality control over the assortment. Just dumb.

Jolly Ranchers can serve Multipurposes- Did you kn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The taste is refreshing, candy long lasting, and satisfies a sweet tooth once in a while. Jolly ranchers can really serve multiple purpose’s. You can make jolly rancher flavored cocktails, shots, sparkling water using the hard candy. Just look up some recipes. They serve great for grade school students as a prize for answering questions correctly. You can use them in just about any business to give out to customers in a pretty bowl by the check...

Flavorful snack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These have always been my favorite. Personally, I really enjoy the watermelon ones. I like the fact that they added a resealable sticky to the back so they don’t spill all over the place. I’d rather pop one of these in my mouth for something sweet rather than chocolate.

So good!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can’t complain about this original! These are so good just to grab whenever you have a sweet tooth. All the original flavors are great and this is a good sized bag.

My favorite candy in the world
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have loved jelly rancher since I was a child. Period. They are the perfect hard candy that is filled and is bursting with flavor. The only downside to jelly ranchers are the wrappers that comes in. Unless you keep them in an airtight sealed container, sometimes the candy melts and gets stuck to the wrapper.

Cherry over everything
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The original Jolly Ranchers are the best. They are nostalgic and the perfect sweet treat. When I was pregnant with my daughter I craved the cherry so much that I bought a bag of cherry only. Although cherry is the best, I still enjoy the other flavors as well. They are perfect to bring with me on-the-go. My kids even love them!
