Funny enough, 'jelly babies' are pretty much unknown the US. The closest would probably be 'gummy bears'. We do have jelly beans, which have a kind of solid, sugary coating. I think HarryHedgehog's answer would work for a US audience.
njbeckett (asker) Jun 28, 2006:
The customer says American jelly babies or whatever they are called there.
Ian M-H (X) Jun 28, 2006:
But is it for the US, New Zealand, the Isle of Man or somewhere else?
njbeckett (asker) Jun 28, 2006:
All I know is it is a presentation to be held by a manufacturer of jelly babies (boys I think).
Ian M-H (X) Jun 27, 2006:
Go on, tell us who your audience is... location? food trade? politicians?

gummy candies

You can have "gummy" anything - bears, worms, fish, coke bottles...

Also can be "gummi" in English.

But not jelly babies, at least not around here.
