How people cook with it
Jelly beans are a versatile candy that can be enjoyed in many ways. They are often used for decorating or as a sweet addition to desserts.

Jelly beans are typically eaten straight from the bag as a sweet snack. Their small size makes them easy to pop into your mouth one by one. For baking, they can be pressed into cookie dough before baking or scattered on top of frosting for a colorful garnish.

Many people enjoy them during holidays or as a simple treat to brighten their day.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining jelly beans fresh, ensure the bag is sealed tightly after opening. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. This will prevent them from becoming hard or sticky. Avoid refrigeration, as this can affect their texture.
