How do they make jellybeans?!


Question: Combine sugar, corn syrup, anti-foaming elements (such as wax), color, flavor and various other ingredients in a vat. Boil until the syrup reaches the desired consistency.

Transport the mixture through pipes to the casting area. Casting trays contain molds that shape the jellybeans. There may be up to 1,200 molds per tray. Before the syrup is poured into the molds the trays are coated with cornstarch, which enables the cooled centers to retain their shape. The jelly beans are left to cool overnight.

Steam the jellybeans to remove the cornstarch, then add a sugar coating and set aside for 1 to 2 days.

Place the jellybeans in a rotating drum and gradually add sugar to build up the shell. They are set aside for 4 to 6 days until shells are hard enough to go back in the tumbler for polishing, and then glazed for a glossy look.

they do not make jelly beans, they pick them from special trees in candyland, then they are cleaned, sorted, packed, and shipped to eager consumers

Planted from jelly bean seed......stop by any good farm/ranch supply..

Discovery Channel has done a program on how they're made and so has History Channel. You can buy recordings of the programs by going to their home pages and ordering on-line.
The category to look under is "How it's Made", natch!
