There are a variety of different sweet tooths out there and chocolate versus candy addresses two of them; those who have never loved the former may appreciate the Old Recipe Jellybean Milk. A sweet alternative to chocolate milk, its unique flavor takes after the bean-shaped candy confections. This pale pink potation comes just in time for Easter Sunday, which is all about colorful candy. At least when it comes to the concerns of children.
Created by Illinois-based Prairie Farms Dairy, the Old Recipe Jellybean Milk is a low-fat drink that is "delicately sweetened with a sugar/monk fruit juice combination and bursting with fruity jellybean flavor," according to the company. Chocolate Marshmallow Milk and Easter Egg Nog has also been released for the holiday.
