My husband bought a 1,8 kg jar of mixed Jelly Beans at Costco last time we were there. (Not good.)

He only eats the fruity ones, I only like the “white” ones. Buttered popcorn, coconut, vanilla, toasted marshmallow and there’s a couple of brown ones too, Cappuccino and chocolate. When he buys the small boxes he alway gives me the white ones, it’s usually just a few. In this jar I’d say it’s a third. So when he takes his fist of Jelly Beans he picks out the white ones and leaves them in a cup for me in the kitchen.(Not good.)

I’m on a workout regimen here right, I don’t need these little sugary bombs hollering at me every time I’m in the kitchen. And I’m not really a “candy person”, but Jelly Beans are SO good! So small and spot on in its flavors, so hard to resist. (Not good.)

I happened to glance at the ingredient label and did you know that one serving, ONE serving which I’m guessing is a fist full, is 616 kacl! That is absolutely insane. Thank god the jar is now empty. I’m giving that cup of white ones away and will strongly oppose another jar coming in to this house.

Actually I think I’ll send my beans to my sister who just told me the other day she only has 8% body fat. She’ll like em’.
