This was another Advent I found in Mebane North Carolina the other day. We went to the Sweet Grace Market at the Melville Trading Company where I found a handful of this calendar: the Harry Potter/Jelly Belly Advent Calendar 2024. With days 1-24, you get 1 of 10 randomly inserted flavors which include cinnamon, toasted marshmallow and candy floss. For those of you who don't know, candy floss is what Brits call cotton candy.
Too bad that Jelly Belly didn't make this a Bertie Botts selection of flavors. They still license the 'Every Flavor' brand of Harry Potter inspired jelly beans. So why couldn't they have used ear wax and toothpaste flavor instead of green apple and cherry? And would it have been too much of a problem to include some of Jelly Belly's holiday flavors like egg nog and peppermint? No Bertie Botts and no holiday flavors. Just seems like a missed opportunity if you ask me...
From my Batman Advent, I received a set of 4 recipe cards, straight from the master himself, Alfred Pennyworth. There are instructions for cucumber sandwiches, mulligatawny, chai tea and brownies. Being obsessed with soup, I may have to give that mulligatawny a try...
