Soft, multicoloured sweet in human shape (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

jelly baby

(Other definitions for jelly baby that I've seen before include "Sweet resembling a small infant" , "Childhood confection" , "Humanoid sweet" , "Sweet in shape of an infant" , "Soft sweet resembling an infant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
