Jelly Bellies have a sharper, truer taste, better texture, and have flavoring on both the inside AND the coating, whereas most jelly beans and other candies only put flavor on the outside.

I think it's the slightly off-white, off-yellow white ones with white snowflake spots on them. I like them because I fancy they're a teensy bit salty, which gives good contrast to the other flavours. The other one I sometimes enjoy are the Jalopeņo jellies because they're a little... hot. The only problem with those is they are also metallic-tasting like real Jalopeņos (ugh).
