This order arrived 1/5/2021 and had a brief time before expiration (5/2021). The candy seemed faded on the outer coating and seemed this stock had been moved around and been on a shelf quite a while. Our local grocers have same candy with a longer expiration date so we know indeed, this was old stock. The flavor was poor as well....just did not taste right like most quality M&M products always do. Lesson learned to avoid buying candy on line and a refund was issued. If you buy consumables at all on line, try to see what people are saying about freshness and expiration dates from the seller!!!!Way over priced. This is what I’d expect to pay over in Egypt at an expensive resort in the minibar.When I opened these 2 bags, quite a few of the M&M's were smashed. I ate them anyway as it didn't deter me as I love this flavor! so maybe someone can check the packing materials to make sure they won't damage the product?Easter for kidsI am completely and totally addicted to thesePerfect size just right amount of flavor for my tastebudsI love M&M Caramel. Must try. I think they're always overpriced.It's such a shame that you can get the caramel flavor only in the USA. So sooo tasty! Got two packs, everything was in good condition with the proper expire date. Nothing got smashed after delivery. Thanks a lot!
