Maynards Bassetts Jelly Babies - 350g Gift Box
Maynards Bassetts Jelly Babies are made with real fruit juice and feature a firm outer crust and a soft, juicy centre dusted with starch that resembles icing sugar. Bassetts are the original jelly babies.
First introduced in the early 1900s, jelly babies have a rich history rooted in British confectionery tradition. They were originally known as "Peace Babies" when they were reintroduced after World War I in 1918 to celebrate the end of the war. The name was later changed to Jelly Babies, and they have been a beloved British sweet ever since.
The 350g carton makes a wonderful gift for loved ones, or a well-deserved treat for yourself.
