My Favorite Things : Special Edition

Today I wandered into a local grocery store to buy some toilet paper, soap, and pita bread...and much to my delight I walked right by a bulk Jelly Belly display. I said to myself "could it be?". I walked right over and scanned the flavors. Was it there? YES! The hard to find jelly bean flavor of my dreams is sold not 6 blocks from my new home.

Juicy Pear
The official Jelly Belly Description: Real puree of D'Anjou pears imported from France makes this bean a five star flavor. Wierd but true, even the distinctive pear texture comes through each bite. Juicy, fresh, and lush.

My favorite Jelly Belly flavor. This is the greatest jelly bean on earth. You probably won't like it if you don't like pears. But I love pears. And I love Juicy Pear Jelly Bellies. In doing field research for my blog (so as not to provide false information)...I discovered that I can order a 2.2 lb bag of this flavor! OR someone could buy me a 2.2 lb bag of Juicy Pear Jelly Bellys, say...for Christmas? or Halloween even! There are 22 shopping days left until Halloween. And what a better way to say "Happy Halloween" than with a 2.2 lb bag of candy!
