The candy that made us feel like jelly
There’s no other time better than now to grab hold of our favorite candies, which most likely include jelly beans! But not just any jelly bean, they’ve got to be Jelly Belly’s. Candy Connoisseurs will tell you that theirs are way juicier and delicious, with flavors being the closest (if not the exact replica) to the same thing. Speaking of which, the bazillion choices will leave you scratching heads as well. They’ve got everything from the classics like cherry to whacky ones like tabasco and earwax Toasted Marshmallow and Buttered Popcorn (we don’t have tabasco and earwax). We’ll not be surprised if you accidentally splurged on these. However, if you’re looking for ways to indulge in them, know that shoveling them down into your gob isn’t the only way.
Flower Pot Cupcakes
Flowerpot cupcakes are the cutest thing ever. And if there comes a time that requires you to flaunt your baking skills, these never cease to amaze. Except, you’d have to be a terrific decorator to get the piping right. Well, good thing you can take the easier route with jelly beans. Just squeeze a little icing on top of a cupcake and start crafting your favorite flower.
Jelly Bean Nest
We’re far from Easter, but nothing’s stopping us from making these adorable bird nest cookies. With shaped rice krispy squares as your base, tuck a few jelly beans in the middle to make them resemble a real nest. No doubt your guests will be charmed away as aesthetics and taste get full marks. Chewy, crispy, and obviously sweet, this one leaves an impression.
Jelly Bean Cookies
Adding sprinkles or sugar-coated chocolates to your cookies are so last year. For a touch of whimsy, break the mold by substituting them with colorful jelly beans. They give the biscuits a tinge of sweetness along with that complementary chew. Let’s not leave out the amazing hues, we can totally envision making these for any kind of festivities.
Jelly Bean Pinata Cake
If special occasions are always celebrated with classic flavors like vanilla or strawberry, now is the time to upgrade with a jelly bean-filled pinata cake. Your guests won’t know the surprise until cutting inside the cake to find a bunch of jelly beans spilling out. Oh, they make great gender reveal cakes as well! Just customize the hues of the sweets to match the baby’s sex.
