Hybrid Easter Jelly Beans

Mars Wrigley Has Launched Skittles Jelly Beans for Easter

— February 21, 2022 — Lifestyle
Just when it seemed that ever possible Easter candy had been done before, Mars Wrigley is making headlines for the launch of its new Skittles Jelly Beans.

This spring, you can add a little color to your Easter basket by picking up a package of Skittles Jelly Beans. The new candy is a cross between fruity Skittles candy and the soft texture of a jelly bean. Though the product has not officially launched yet, early sightings of the candy suggest that each bag will feature a mix of Strawberry-, Orange-, Lemon-, Green Apple-, and Grape-flavored pieces.

Though the new Skittles Jelly Beans are set to officially launch on April 17th, eagle-eyed fans are already starting to spot the seasonal treat at their local retailers.
