Maynards Bassetts Jelly Babies Sweets Bag 165g (Pack of 4)

I was worried they were going to be melted together because several reviews said they were. I have ordered these a few times and never had a problem with them melting together. I was careful with when I ordered them and made sure the day they arrived would be a cooler day or that I would be home to bring them in. I tend to order them around the fall or winter because it's colder and I don't have to worry about them melting. Just be aware of the outside temperature when ordering and when they're being delivered and melting shouldn't be an issue.

So being a huge fan of the 4th Doctor I decided to get some more Jelly Babies & enjoy the tons of reruns on the Pluto TV app's Doctor Who Classics channel (it's a great free app w/a bunch of awesome classic channels aside from Doctor Who BTW, DL it from the Google Play store). Having had the Maynards Bassetts brand before I decided to get the Gustaf's & do a head to head comparison. Well, it's a toss up. Overall I do prefer the Maynards Bassetts to the Gustaf's. The texture is better, the Babies themselves tend to be thicker, and the natural flavors are more on point to the fruits they represent. However the Gustaf's have a green apple flavor that MB does not make, are covered in more powdered sugar if that is your thing, but most importantly the price point on the 2.2lb bag can not be beat. My final decision? If I have to absolutely choose only one I will go for the MB brand, but in reality I will continue to buy both brands as they both have good flavor & the various points outlined above make it almost a tie w/MB just barely pulling the lead.

Overpriced, but really love this candy

These weee awful. I opened 1 pack they were all white and they expire next month.. I don’t even want to give them 1 star but it made me

This order was for a four-pack of Maynard’s Jelly Babies. These are an excellent, delicious item, however: All four packages arrived melted into a solid sheet of sticky, melted jelly. These items are not returnable per Amazon policy. I will try to contact Amazon Customer Service to obtain a replacement item which hopefully will not be melted beyond recognition.Update: I did contact customer service and they did issue a refund for this item : thank you, Amazon!

For anyone not having experience with "jelly babies" they are a bit hard to describe as they are not quite like US style gummy candies and not like "fruit snacks"- they are, delicious. A ever-so-slightly crispy outside with fresh not sticky gummy center in a fruit flavor, all slightly dusted with confectionery powder. I first had these in the UK and had a hankering for some. No doubt the cost is hiked (especially when the individual packages boast a 1 BP price but it was SO worth it for a special treat.

I liked the candies because they still have the same flavor that I remember from years ago when I visited Europe

This arrived to me with only a month left on the use by date.
