York Peppermint Patties Bulk - 5 lb.

these came in a box which was much better than just the bag you see in the picture.This is the third time I have purchased this offer this year, everyone here and at my church loves them! They come individually wrapped so you can hand a couple to anyone you meet and no issue!

Man, these are good!! Loved them during my childhood and these brought back good memories. Tasted fresh, good quantity and well packaged. Complaints: None.

The box looks like it was opened and not sealed, and it was re-taped and it’s crushed

They were fresh, a good value and size. They were packed well so weren't crushed either. I don't know if I'll ever be able to eat them all! When I have guest I love to put them on their pillows at night or a as a gift basket in their room.

All in all... not a bad price for what you get. Of the 5 lbs. received, about 15% are smashed or has damaged wrappers making those pieces unsuitable for use. Another 30% have slight smashing of the patty within the wrapper, but still usable. This leaves about 55% usable as if bought at the higher prices sold in smaller quantities. Knowing that any manufacturer seeks to eliminate losses as much as is possible, this 5 lbs. package seems to be a repackaging of a much larger bulk package sold off by The Hershey Company to bulk buyers for resale. I doubt this product was totally damaged at the factory, but rather mixed into a lot of good product to make it resalable in bulk form. Otherwise, The Hershey Company couldn't recoup any cost of production. So the manufacture gives up a percentage of good product along with the damaged product and covers their costs. The bulk buyer then repackages in lots large enough to make the purchase attractive and cost effective and still turn a reasonable profit on their investment. Capitalism at it's finest. You'll need to understand that there's enough good undamaged product to support the purchase price. You'll just need to go through what you have, weed out anything that looks or feels damaged beyond use, then move on.One point I will make and it's why I dropped one star... I bought this lot on 20-July 2024... The individual wrappers are marked with a "Best By" date of 08 2024... making this essentially an "Out of Date" foodstuff 20 days beyond my purchase date. Does this actually mean that the product goes bad in 20 days? Not at all... But don't hesitate to start using it upon receipt. They'll be too stale within 4 to 6 months for tasteful consumption.Would I buy again? I probably would, but I'll have lower expectations the next time around, for sure.The saving grace is this...They're Peppermint cream filled Dark Chocolate shelled goodness in a single bite. What's not to love about that!

They taste great and individually wrapped. Some are melted a bit, but I put them in the freezer and it's easier to take them out of package, besides I like them frozen.They'll last longer too.No dry ice as others have mentioned.TEXAS heat didn't help and unfortunately the delivery was delayed which contributed to melting.I hope they'll discount, but not holding my breath.Will advise if they do.Enjoy!

They came in the mail and weren’t melted! Amazon put the package in an insulated pouch to keep them cool. The pepper patties themselves are so addictive that IThey came in the mail and weren’t melted! Amazon put the package in a insulated pouch to keep them cool. The pepper and patties themselves are so addictive that I ate all of them in five days. :-)
