last bean standing

My mom ordered this rainbow assortment of giant jellybeans from the Walkarusa Dime Store a few weeks ago. Can you tell which ones are the least favorites among the fam? All nice and juicy, my favorites were the cinnamon reds, because they are like the volleyball version of gummi cinnamon bears! We kept the (sugar)ball rolling with a Grapehead Popcorn Ball vs. Lemonhead Popcorn Ball contest. Even though one lost, they were both sour. Lemon won by a slightly sweet head.

Make them yourself: Over medium heat, melt together 3 T butter, 1 C mini marshmallows, one small box lemonheads (be patient, the lemonheads will dissolve). Mix in 4 C popped corn until well coated. With oiled or buttery hands, form into balls. Makes six small ones.

P.S. My sister’s family is here, and she is the silly pun influence in this post. Thanks for helping sweeten my sour days, Chan.
