A Sweet Celebration with Colorful History<\/h2>\n

Historians note jelly beans were referenced as early as 1861 when Boston confectioner William Schrafft encouraged sending them to Civil War soldiers.
A Chicago Daily News<\/em> item on July 5, 1905 advertised bulk jelly beans for nine cents per pound. By the 1930s, their egg-like shape
tied them to Easter traditions across the U.S.<\/p>\n
