Banana cream pie: can't put it in your pocket. Or can you? Our fudge flavor of the week steps up to the challenge. And pretty much aces it. Full banana cream pie flavor without the gooey aftermath. Check it out! (Pie photo from sixsistersstuff.com)

FINALLY!!! It's been a bad year for jumping beans, apparently, and ours just bounced in. I hear it's a limited engagement and when we're out, we're out, so if you want to put a couple of these critters in your pocket, now's the time! Hasta la vista, baby!
