Jelly Belly Candy Co. is helping make the transition for veterans, service members and military families throughout the United States just a tad easier, and hence sweeter. The Fairfield, Calif.-based company recently donated $20,000 to Hope For The Warriors, a national nonprofit organization founded in 2006.
Although not quite as popular as chocolate, chewy candy still commanded close to $3.3 billion in dollar sales in the 52 weeks ending March 20, 2016, according to IRI, a Chicago-based market research firm.
The superhero hype has been building for months, with Wonder Woman set to join Batman and Superman in the upcoming film "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice."
