Andes Mint Chocolate Candy 5LB Bag (2 Pack)

Bought from Bay Area Marketplace. These mints are NOT individually wrapped, as show in the product image. They are 5 pounds of Andes Mint Chips.

The picture clearly shows the individual wrapped, Andes Mint Candies that I and my family have all but become obsessed with. What arrived was a bag of ground up, unwrappped mint chocolate chips. I'm absolutely disappointed with this purchase and will never make this mistake again.

This product arrived today, and the plastic bag containing the pieces had a hole torn into it about 3 inches in diameter. Of course many pieces had poured out of the bag and into the box. Since this is a food product I have no choice but to assume tampering, and I must dispose of the entire order.

The shiny green pristine wrapping is a huge part of the Andes experience. Due to the packaging (single large bag with no protection) the crisp shiny wrappers were ruined. If you just want the candy to eat at home this is fine. If you plan to use for anything else, this is probably not the right choice.

My only disappointment with these Andes mints is that I had to purchase two bags. My first bag was delivered to my parcel box at the end of my street in Katy, Texas on Friday, August 25. You may recall that hurricane Harvey hit Texas on Saturday, August 26. Due to some travel issues (a hurricane and 55" of water), I was unable to retrieve my box o' candy from the parcel box until September 4th, when we snuck back into our mandatory evacuation zone wearing full-body waders, gloves, and masks. Of course, the box was skanky after a week soaking in the 3' of water in the street. Since the street was still full of water I left it there - nowhere else to put it! I feel for David, our mailman, who eventually had to drag that wet box of candy out of the parcel box once the water went down.Despite the need to save funds for the rebuilding of our house, my mom's house, AND our rent house, I decided that what I really needed was those dang mints. I made the purchase and about a week later they arrived. Perfect and yummy, they reside in my junior high classroom, where I use them to help improve my students' days as well as mine.It's a huge bag, each is individually wrapped, none were melted (think south Texas - that's amazing), and I will order again!

I love this candy. It was very popular at the office in my candy dish. It didn't seem to be very fresh, so I probably won't re-order.

I was disappointed with the freshness of the mints and expected them to be more like the ones I purchase at the local grocery store. I ordered them within four weeks of my son's wedding so I felt that freshness should not be an issue.

This bag of candy is hard and stale tasting. There is no freshness to it. Threw it away.
