This video was inspired by a recent comment regarding pushing an LED into a jelly baby. When you consider it, most jelly sweets have an optically clear interior with a diffused outer, so stuffing an LED into them will make them light up.
The best type of LED is the traditional lensed type, to fire the light down into the sweet's interior.
A good choice of LED lighting set would be warm or cold white, but if you use coloured LEDs you will need to match the jelly candy colour to the LED colour for maximum intensity.
Then it's really just a matter of shoving the candy onto the LEDs in a position that will result in good internal illumination. In the case of the Jelly babies I shoved the LED into their heads. (Don't do that with real babies.)
The result is very good. Brightly illuminated candy that can be picked and eaten from the tree, and then easily replaced afterwards.
