Sweet take on tradition

FAIRFIELD, Calif. — Jelly Belly’s new Peas & Carrots mellowcreme mix is a whimsical, retro product that has been revived right from the company’s antique candy molds. The “baby carrots” in the mix are orange sherbet mellowcreme, while the “peas” are green apple flavor — a sweet version of a classic veggie combination.


The product is available in a nostalgic 5.5-oz. resealable “can” that looks a lot like its vegetable counterpart. The mellowcreme mix also is available in 3-oz. bags, 8.5-oz. tie-top bags and in bulk bins.
