JELLYBEANS
This one makes for the best guessing! Your jar will contain hundreds or thousands of brightly colored jellybeans. We’ve found the Kirkland Signature (Costco) Jelly Belly 4 lb jar is perfect for the occasion. Jelly Belly’s really do taste the best and they aren’t that much more than the generic bulk jelly beans.
