Post By jodi (Guest Post) (06/04/2004) Since I pack a little candy bag each nite with my husbands lunch I go the first day after each holiday an stock up on all kinds of candies...what a savings ! I bought a big plastic container an stock the candies in that (of course UNopened) I have had no problems what so ever..only when I forget to pack the little candy bag in the lunch.

Native Americans use an herb wiht a licorice flavor to fish. For Catfish use the black jellybeans. I do not know what to do with the rest of them. RE: Can I Freeze Jelly Beans for Next Easter?

I found some in back of a cupboard from last year and they were as good as new. RE: Can I Freeze Jelly Beans for Next Easter? Post By Homemaker (Guest Post) (04/26/2004) Jelly beans would not last long enough in our house to see if they would freeze, but if no other thoughts come in, try freezing a few (25 or so) for a few weeks and take out and see what they are like. If they don't freeze, then you haven't lost much. I would wrap them airtight to be sure no moisture gets in. I have frozen candy canes before with success. Good luck!

I have not tried it so I am not sure how they would survive the freezing process. Here is very general info for freezing candy: Freezing: Candies Make as usual. Or, freeze commercially made candy. Package. Using: Thaw in wrappings at room temperature. Fat “bloom” which develops in chocolate candy during freezing should disappear. Cracks in brittle candies, chocolate-covered nuts and a few creams should disappear when candies are thawed. Storage Length: 1 year? I think they may become a bit graining when thawed. Maybe someone else has had some success with this.
