Nerds Variety Mix 90 Count vs Jolly Rancher Assorted Fruit Hard Candy

Both are big, individually wrapped, fruit-flavored assortments, so the choice comes down to texture and variety. The Nerds mix wins on variety of experience: it combines original crunchy Nerds, Gummy Clusters and Big Chewy, so you get soft, chewy and crunchy pieces in one bag. Jolly Rancher is the safer pick for a candy bowl or party: one hard, long-lasting piece, five clear fruit flavors, and a slightly higher rating from more owners. Buy Nerds for texture variety and kids; buy Jolly Rancher for a hard candy that lasts and pleases a crowd.

• Choose the Nerds Variety Mix if you want three different candy textures in one bag and a mix that leans toward chewy and crunchy rather than hard candy.
• Choose the Jolly Rancher Assorted bag if you want a single long-lasting hard candy in five classic fruit flavors that works in a candy bowl or party bag.
