Easter is near. The stores have Jelly Beans again. I like Jelly Beans. This is the only time of year I get them. I'm cheap and just pay $1 for a 12 ounce bag. I always stock up,but still run out before next Easter. I don't like the spice ones,just the plain Old Jelly Bean. I only buy one bag,than when I get out in the car,I am into the bag, than If I like them,back in I go for more.
Ronald Reagan liked Jelly Beans. :)
Try the Jelly Belly brand. They all have a different flavor even though they are just sugar. I wonder if the southern boys put them on Grits?
Jelly beans to grits in three posts, and in thecfarms own thread. :D I like jelly beans. There was a store here that carried some really good ones in a little bag. When I would leave work sometimes I'd stop and get some, then go to a friends shop and we'd sit around the wood stove and gobble them up. Some aren't as good as others. I'd like to find a source for just the licorice ones. food6
Chutters in Littleton, NH
Candy Mecca. If they don't have it, it isn't made :) and you can get individual flavored beans but no grit flavor at last check ahhhh ::)
I have seen the Jelly Bean brand. And just like all the others kinds mentioned,you are not buying a 12 oz bag for a buck. I'm the last of the big spenders. I can eat a 12 oz bag in a night easy.
Doesn't that violate your meat and cheese only diet? :D They are a bean, after all. ;)
You forgot bread. ;D Candy is my weakness, big weakness. I just love finding those chocolate filled candy,75% off after Christmas. I try to find them each year, Just have to be at the right place,at the right time.
I like the black jelly beans thems the best 8) 8) 8) 8)
The Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield CA offers tours and free samples. We try to stop in on the way to visit the in-laws. I have the kids trained to pick out the Licorice beans for me.
You can go online or in the retail stores to buy single flavors. Not cheap though. Usually on sale after Easter.
Belly Flops (rejects) are the best value for random flavors.
Mmmm...I love jelly beans. Starburst jelly beans are my favorite, but I'm really not picky. Jelly Bellys tick me off, because I have to pick through and make sure I don't accidentally eat a butter popcorn. Bleck.

Watch that blood sugar. My dad started getting cravings for sugar like that and turned out he was a diabetic.
Last jelly bean I ate I pulled out a filling and ended up costing me about $300.
I like Jelly Beans and Red Fish. ;D
21inches,I've been checked. I've been like this for more than 30 years. No help for me. ;D

Yes he did, and as I understand it, he always had a jar of jelly beans within reach!
However, he specifically ate "Jelly Belly" brand jelly beans!
He would receive regular shipments of Jelly Belly beans from California on a regular basis!
Right next to your jelly beans at the counter are my personal favorites, marshmallow peeps. I buy them and use a pencil to poke a hole in the package, and wait until they start to get hardened. Heaven! :)
Has nothing to do about jellybeans, other than the name. I used to hunt birds with an old northwest, near the Panhandle, Texas cotten farmer, and his son. The old man is gone now, but have a weekly glass of spring water with his son, a retired LEO. The old man had some distain for "citified" hunters with their thousand dollar shotguns, 4 wheel drive pickups that only left the road if they missed a turn, and their Bean hunting cloths. You see, the old man had an 870, a 48-11, and a deer rifle. His hunting cloths were what he farmed in, wore out, washed to almost white, and "cowboy" boots. He was polite to the city folks, as Texas farmers tend to be, but off with the town folks, they were "jelly beans". He never gave me a definition for it, but I suspect in his mind, they were probably about as important to him as a handfull of jelly beans.
I have his 48-11 in the closet, take it out every now and then and think of the hunts, and the old man.
I like them like that too, Roxie!
