Unicorn poop for the unicorn lover in your family

Brach's Miniature Unicorn Jelly Beans

Unicorn Jelly Beans

I have it on good authority that unicorns poop candy. My good authority is a six-year-old girl; is there anyone more authoritative?  Whatever the case, Brach’s must’ve heard the same thing: that’s probably why one of their two special jelly bean offerings for this year is Unicorn Jelly Beans. It’s a companion to Dragon Jelly Beans, which are presumably named on the authority of a six-year-old boy. Never mind the sexist notion…



Unlike Dragon Jelly Beans, which I found to include special flavors named “dragon’s breath,” chocolate pudding, and “dragon fruit”; the unicorn variety contains only stock Brach’s flavors: grape, cherry, orange, lime, and blue raspberry. The difference from regular Brach’s beans of the same flavors is that unicorn jelly beans are “gourmet-sized” and, instead of the familiar solid colors, are speckled pastel. There aren’t any white (pineapple), lemon, or black beans in the bag, and definitely no chocolate (you wouldn’t want brown unicorn poop, after all).
As near as I can tell, the beans taste exactly the same as the standard-sized beans that come in one-pound bags: nothing nasty, just nothing special. They cost, however, considerably more: a 7-ounce bag will set you back about two bucks in the store; the same as the dragon variety. In other words, they’re nothing special; even if they cost like they are. Still, any six-year-old girls in your household will probably be delighted.
