54 Easter Basket Ideas We Love in 2025
Compared with other jelly beans we’ve tested, these beans are brighter and tastier, and they come in a wider array of flavors.
These zany jelly bean flavors can be truly gross—turning this figurative gag gift into a literal one.
These vegan gummy candies are bigger than other jelly beans, and they come in yummy fruit flavors.
If Easter chocolates should be pastel and understated, then Easter jelly beans should be a riot of colors and flavors. Jelly Belly Jelly Beans deliver on both counts. A 1-pound bag offers 49 flavors , including toasted marshmallow, chocolate pudding, and A&W root beer. Jelly Belly also offers the Baby Carrot bag, a carrot-shaped pack filled with tangerine-flavor beans. Its pint-size Spring Mix bags (which cost about four bucks each) are delicious (we’ve tested them!) and look adorable in an Easter basket.
If your kids are Harry Potter fans—or they just like being grossed out—Jelly Belly also makes Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans, including flavors like soap, earwax, and earthworm. Online reviews suggest that the assortment may have more bad flavors than good, but some folks take matters into their own hands by mixing them with regular jelly beans to improve the odds of getting a winner. And for a vegan Easter basket option, we tried Jelly Belly’s Assorted Gummies. They aren’t classic jelly beans, despite how photos on the bag may look; they’re actually larger-size gummy candies. Even so, they are tasty, with fruit flavors such as apple, orange, and cherry. As my husband noted, “I wouldn’t know they were vegan.”
