Runamok Black Jelly Bean Spiced Maple Syrup, $17.95
Runamok Black Jelly Bean Spiced Maple Syrup (Runamok)
Come Easter time, some may have a love-hate relationship with the black jelly bean. That’s why the maple syrup maestros at Runamok created this unique condiment as a nod to fans of this "confectionary outsider."
It’s the first release in the brand’s so-called Nostalgia Series, uses only three organic ingredients (maple syrup, anise seed and licorice root) and is just as welcome on pancakes or waffles as it is mixed into cocktails or mocktails.
