The Birth of Jelly Babies

Did you know Jelly Babies originated in the UK? It’s true! These soft, sugar-coated, baby-shaped confections were first produced by Fryers of Lancashire in 1864 and were originally known as “Unclaimed Babies.”

The Evolution of Jelly Babies

The original Jelly Babies underwent a sugary evolution in the 20th century, becoming a popular indulgence during wartime and gaining a new lease on life in the 1950s under Bassett’s of Sheffield, where they were rechristened as “Bassett’s Jelly Babies.”
