Although Easter has come and gone, you probably still have a bunch of jelly beans left over from filling baskets and plastic eggs. Lucky for you, Monday is National Jelly Bean Day, and it’s time to celebrate. Here are a few ideas from Pinterest for creatively using what’s left of those jelly beans so they don’t go to waste:
Create jelly bean fudge and share it with all of your friends.
Add a new element of flavor to rice krispie treats by putting in jelly beans.
Mix some jelly beans into your favorite drink to jazz it up.
Put jelly beans in your sugar cookie mix for a gooey surprise in every bite. Do the same with cupcakes.
Ditch the sprinkles and top all your sweet treats with jelly beans instead.
Pop some popcorn and throw some jelly beans in with it. You can really jazz it up by melting some candy melts and drizzling it over the popcorn.
Add a pop of color to your kitchen table by creating a centerpiece with jelly beans as the base. You can stack them according to color or just toss them in for a rainbow look.
If all else fails, get some string and make a jelly bean bracelet. And depending on how many you have left, you could make a matching necklace, too.
