Because he wasn't going to give them to the kids, he was just going to binge on jawbreakers with his friends. The kids weren't supposed to have ANY jawbreakers at all, that stash was Eddy's and he was reserving it for his friends. Given the end montage where Rolf, Wilfred, Plank, Kevin, Jimmy, Sarah, Nazz, and Jonny 2x4 all had one before Ed pulled out the last jawbreaker for himself, we can assume that Eddy bought nine jawbreakers in total intending for him and his friends to receive three each.

Of course, had he bought this number intending to share with the kids, he still would have been short one and the Eds would have had to split two jawbreakers among themselves...but that's another plot entirely.

tl;dr: Eddy wasn't buying jawbreakers to share with the kids. Don't blame him for Ed's brain fart.
