About Jolly rancher chew
Jolly Rancher Chews are bite-sized, fruit-flavored candies originating from the United States and part of the larger Jolly Rancher brand established in 1949. These chewy confections are popular for their intense fruity flavors such as cherry, green apple, and watermelon. Nutritionally, Jolly Rancher Chews are primarily composed of sugars, artificial flavors, and colors, with minimal to no fat or protein content. A single serving of about 8 pieces (40 grams) contains approximately 160 calories, 0 grams of fat, and 28 grams of sugar, making it a high-sugar, energy-dense treat with no significant vitamin or mineral contribution.
Health Benefits

- The intense flavors can enhance the sensory experience and improve mood in certain individuals through dopamine release.
Dietary Considerations
