Now THIS is silly.

Silly, but timely. I took the Jelly Belly Factory Tour less than a week ago. :-)

Find your flavor here!

Cinnamon was number two.

Though jelly-belly itself seems to be the masters of branding (or obsessive-compulsivess) -- they print a tiny logo on every jelly bean!

Actually, the tour made soem sense at the time, and much more sense later when I was researching how to make truffles w/ liquor-filled centers. You use the same trick Jelly Belly does -- make indentations in a tray of corn starch, pour in your liquid, and let it set/dry in a heated room.

I haven't been crazy enough to try yet, but in theory I know how to put about any liquid alcohol product into a candy and have it stay liquid. You make a hot sugar syrup, mix in the alcohol, and put it in a starch tray. The sugar begins to set from the outside in, creating a shall around the still-liquid center. You can then take those centers (which look like little coocoons) and dip 'em in chocolate.

Same result!
