Easter Fun – Jelly Bean Lollipops!

For a different twist on an Easter egg hunt this year, try planting jelly beans the night before. Take 3-5 jelly beans and plant them in a little dirt. The next morning when the kids get up, they should find that a lollipop that has grown where the jelly beans were planted!

It is fun to make the sucker or lollipop the same color as the jelly beans and you could use different colored jelly beans for a multicolored sucker.

Also I do know kids so they will probably try to get you to plant jelly beans every night so to help you moms and dads out  tell them they will only grow on the night before Easter. We parents always need to stay on step ahead.

    I just want to say that this post inpired me to make my own Easter candy. I made vanilla flavored lollipops with sprinkles, and chocolate bunnies, and I will be adding jelly beans to chocolate to make some yummy bark. I had so much fun!

    Re: Quick Lemon Bars
    Should I make the cake batter following the package directions, or do you mean for me to simply combine the dry cake mix with the lemon pie filling? No eggs, no oil…?
    I surely enjoy your newsletter.

      Just mix the dry cake batter and pie filling together and bake. Now that I right this I wonder what this would taste like done with apple or blueberry pie filling. I bet that would be good too. Just thinking.

        Jill, both major brands of cake mix have the powdered egg white already in the angel food cake mix. They both only require adding water. I tried the lemon bar recipe using the Pillsbury mix and only mixed the dry cake mix and canned lemon pie filling as the recipe calls for but it puffed up and ended up like a lemon angle food cake instead of the lemon bars. What am I doing wrong??

        How long do I “just bake” this?

    Had hubby get the ingredients for the lemon bars. I mixed the two items together and ended up with a 9 x 13 pan of lemon angel food cake instead of lemon bars. ? I looked at the cake mix box and saw where it said it’s a “just add water” cake mix. Oops! Hahaha! It’ll still be good, I am sure. ??

    Moderator, please disregard my comments/questions (2 total) about the lemon bars. I went to Tawra’s video and saw she used the same type cake mix I used and saw the outcome was the same as mine. I was looking at the photo with the recipe on this post as what it should look like, so I was confused.

    I love the planting jelly bean ideas. One time (off subject) my daughter (when she was 4) got a hold of my bag of dried beans. While I was in the shower she planted them in a empty flower bed in the backyard. I can’t believe they grew. LOL
