It ain’t Easter without jelly beans
Easter
- Thread starter CAJUNLAWYER
- Start date
I was a sick pyromaniac as a kid. The peeps would burn nicely if they didn't listen to me. They were only yellow, none of these "new" colors. Jelly beans were slingshot ammo. Solid chocolate rabbits only. Wife always buys me some sort of big chocolate egg that I need power tools to cut. I let them sit around until she eats them. Too much work to enjoy one. A bread knife works great as a chocolate saw.
Easter makes deviled eggs a necessity...
YOU.........Have great taste!
Along with Balogna.................
With the price of eggs still a bit elevated at least the problem of the overlooked month old remnants of the Easter Egg Hunt will be reduced.
Yeah, but if the black beans look perfectly round those are NOT jelly beans the Easter bunny left.
I am friends with an older couple, and he insists on letting his Peeps get stale before he will eat them.
My dad did the same with Circus Peanuts.
He would poke holes in the bag, put them in the fridge to cure and threaten pain and pestilence upon me and my brother if we touched them.

Add Brussels sprouts and you have the makings of a top shelf smoothie.
Dark chocolate for me. My tastes have changed, I don't like over the top sweet. Peeps are off the scale, I've never liked them.

You jelly bean fans should check out the Jolly Rancher original flavor jelly beans. They are only available this time of year and IMHO the best out there. I switched from Starburst to them a few years ago and like them much better.
lol... braunsweiger, Miracle whip & beets are a personal favorites.. hard pass on the lima beans
The original jolly rancher plant was a few miles from my childhood home. That place smelled gooood!
I will mark the day with time and half and as the 38th straight 13 hour shifts in a row with just 3 or 4 more to go before I rest.
Can't associate 4/20 with eggs, peeps, m&m's....just saying..
Yup stale Peeps. There the Best! Been doing that for years. Gotta try them Dr. Pepper ones! Happy Easter All
