I like a good jelly bean too mama. My favs are Jelly Belly. I bought a bag not long ago and going to get another soon. They are harder to find good ones before and after Easter, so you have enjoy it while the gettings good.

I don't know of anyone who likes black jellybeans! I wonder why they even include them? Same with the white ones.
As for me, I've never liked jellybeans. My favorite Easter candy used to be Papa's Opera Cream eggs. Years ago they were 6 for $1 - yeah, go ahead and say it, I'm old! I ate so many, I got sick. Ever since then, I can't even look at a white chocolate opera cream egg! LOL
So Easter candy doesn't really interest me much anymore.

Jelly Beans! The black ones are licorice and the white ones are vanilla. I'll eat them!!
My favorite is the Cadbury Mini Eggs - with the crunchy candy shell and the solid chocolate middle. There's something about them. All the stores around here are already sold out, unless I go to CVS and buy a Big Bag that will make me gain about 5 pounds.
Also: White Chocolate! Yummy Yum Yum Yum
Back to my bagel with no cream cheese.......

Oh those Harry Potter ones are just disgusting. Hubbys buddy brought a bag over for the kids and I almost ralfed.
Flavors like rotten egg, bacon, ear wax, booger, vomit, spinach, black pepper, and some other nasty, nasty ones. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am totally addicted to the jelly belly jellybeans. It is my favorite candy. I love the Dr. Pepper, Buttered Popcorn and the caramel apple flavored ones. My mom usually always buys me a big bag with 40 flavors for Easter.

My favorite Easter candy used to be a Chicago favorite, Fannie May chocolate covered cream eggs. I especially enjoyed the fruit and nut. I believe the company was sold or shut down, but heard that a few stores have re-opened under different management.
Alas, my days of pigging out on Easter -- or any kind of -- candy are long gone. Janice, you and I are in the same boat. Since I went off my low-carb regimen because my cholesterol went through the roof, I've slowly but surely put back weight. (I know that some of that weight is also due to my anti-anxiety/anti-depressant, which I would never even consider stopping.)
If I'm going to allow myself jellybeans, I go for Jelly Belly, also -- NEVER black! I've tried the low-sugar Jelly Bellies, but they just don't have the right texture, although the taste isn't too bad.

They must have replaced it with the strawberry daiquiri.

Jelly Bellies rule!
And here is a list of the nasty Harry Potter Bertie Botts flavors.
I thought they had at least 15 nasties but there is only 10, I guess thats enough.

The margarita one is still there too!
I don't care for the plain ol jelly beans very much, particularly since I discovered Smuckers Jelly Beans, Starburst Jelly Beans, and Jolly Rancher Jelly Beans. YUMMY! I also love a lot of the Jelly Belly ones, but I hate when I unknowingly pop one of those nasty ones in my mouth...yuk.

OMG it is. Wow, how did I miss it.
And I was the same way about Jelly Beans, I never cared for the plain old ones either, till I discovered Jelly Belly, Jolly Rancher is okay too. They don't put those nasty ones mixed in with thier regular bags, you buy those seperate. Also at their site I see you can bags of just the flavor/s you like. So I think I am going to order me some blueberry, and cherry. Or fruit basket collection. Boy I have to go get me some Jelly beans today, I am joansin.
