The Turkish Delight, a Middle Eastern candy made of soft jelly, covered in confectioner's powder, was an early precursor to the jelly bean. However, it is generally thought that jelly beans first surfaced in 1861 when a Boston confectioner William Schrafft urged people to send his jelly beans to soldiers during the American Civil War.
