Can you freeze jelly beans?

[bluesub]

I'm still a little confused. It says don't leave jellybeans exposed to air, and then the last suggestion says don't store candy in airtight container - which is it?

Oh and I was cleaning my kitchen counter (removing accumulated papers from school) and found 5 jellybeans, I ate them, probably several months old - still tasted better than the frozen ones...

Blue, keep in mind that the "suggestions" that Oldguy got were for retail stores selling the jelly beans, not for home consumers! As much as many on this thread would like to buy them by the case(s), I doubt that's gonna happen!

I don't understand how anyone could lose FIVE
jelly beans, Blue. Five?

That's how my wife tricks me into moving the stove
and frige so she can clean under them...tell me she
saw a jelly bean roll under them.

But to lose FIVE...don't you count them as they come
out of the bag? (for your future use, figure 25 jelly beans
per ounce...again, please don't ask why I know some things)

Spook...a real beaner

A new jelly bean flavor - formic acid.

Dispensed several beans from my handy dandy jelly bean dispenser and popped them into my mouth. They tasted sort of pungent, and then I noticed that ants had invaded my jellybean stash.

Sour, I have some contacts at FEMA. This is obviously an emergency!
But maybe they're terrorist ants! Want me call Homeland Security?
Quick, somebody get non-contaminated beans to Sour!

My little guy was reminding me of the time we went to Erie and his sisters gave him yucky jellybeans - you guessed it - the Harry Potter Bertie Botts. Especially pungent was "skunk spray"... I remember because he would try to kiss me after eating the jellybeans and his breath was HORRIBLE.

The 'formic acid' jellybeans are sounding better.

"Diaper wipe" was his other favorite flavor... he was just too young to realize that they ALL tasted bad and he kept eating them while his sisters laughed hysterically. I eventually had to take the box from him and throw the rest out.

Ants and Jelly Beans are best eaten seperately.

Imp- unless they are in Rice Krispie Treats.
