There’s nothing sweeter than celebrating with our community! 🍬

Last weekend, Jelly Belly welcomed families, neighbors and local leaders for the 13th Annual Candy Palooza, with two days of candy samples, entertainment, local vendors and family fun.

This year also marked our first-ever community champions breakfast, bringing together 30 community leaders and partners in recognition of those whose collaboration helps strengthen Fairfield.

Thank you to everyone who joined us!

We are big fans of inspiring sweetness in our communities – and this one is really a touchdown! 🏈 In partnership with the Memorial Park District and the Village of Bellwood with Bellwood Mayor Andre Harvey, we unveiled the community’s new scoreboard, sponsored with pride by Ferrara, this Homecoming weekend.

Fall has officially arrived in the candy aisle, and Ferrara’s seasonal favorites are popping up on store shelves in displays filled with the colors, flavors, and fun of the season.

Shout out to our retail sales teams and merchandisers who bring these displays to life and help make fall a little sweeter for shoppers across the country!

“It’s a world of overstimulation that we’re living in…if consumers are snacking as they’re scrolling... texture can help break through and help stimulate and offer a sensory engagement.”

That’s Shannon Weiner, Ferrara’s Senior Director of Consumer Insights, who recently spoke with the AP about the growing role mouthfeel plays in how consumers experience food. As an industry leader in candy innovation, Ferrara continues to find new ways to make every bite more engaging.

Read more about what’s driving the texture trend — and how Ferrara is helping shape it:
