    Beware of jelly beans

    With Easter coming up, especially, I thought you all might need to know this, too. I found out the hard way that many of the Jelly Belly jelly beans have caffeine in them. It's not a lot, but it's enough that they bother me. I'm actually OK with other jelly beans.

    Hopefully you all can learn from my mistakes!

    I was surprised that the other stuff hasn't seemed to bother me, but it hasn't. Just that darn caffeine. But, I can't complain too much about that.

    I find I am ok with a few of the "old fashioned" blander kind, but those Jelly Belly ones do me in. I just need to keep my hands off my kids baskets this year! :-)

    Easter is my favorite candy season and I am finding it very hard to resist the Canbury Mini Eggs . I don't really like jelly beans so I should be good in that area. Thanks for the tip though.
