My daughter's band sold these chocolates and popcorn for a fundraiser. It took forever to get the product in and when I opened the ones I purchased myself, I was quite disgusted.
The dark chocolate salted caramels were completely bloomed and had what looked like fingerprints pushed into the bottoms of the chocolate.
The English toffee had chocolate that tasted rancid and there were smudges on the chocolate that looked like it was repacked and not properly.
The candy as a whole didn't taste good quality, chocolate was definitely not tempered properly, stored properly, etc. There was no plastic on the top of the candies to keep them fresh and the toffee didn't have an expiration date.
I don't even want to pass out the product to those that purchased and will likely just give them their money back out of my own pocket because this was not ok.
Edited to provide the requested code numbers from the boxes (see photo) 4323A1 (caramels)...
Read morePurchased the 24 oz Gourmet Caramel "with almonds and pecans" from our nephew's school fundraiser. Next time, I'll hand him the $28 rather than fork it out to this company. The popcorn was so hard it was literally inedible. As for the "almonds and pecans"...my husband poured the contents into a gallon-sized zip-loc bag (yes, $28 for a gallon bag of inedible caramel corn), and he finally located a single almond HALF and another small bit of what was either a pecan or a cashew. It was so small we couldn't tell. This company should be ashamed of themselves, and thanks to this experience I daresay I'll never ever purchase anything for a school fundraiser again. I'd much rather hand the child the cash to put towards their school project than paid the pockets of unscrupulous companies...

I am very pleased and received some amazing Girl Scout Thin mint pretzels and some peanut butter bears (chocolate covered peanut butter is one of my favorites). Thank you Gordon for your response and kindness. I would highly recommend these items.
If I could give minus stars I would!!! Just got some classic caramel popcorn from a school fundraiser and it is the utmost worst caramel popcorn I have ever had. I'm lucky I didn't break any teeth!! I feel it is extremely stale. What did you do? Give the very old stuff to the fundraiser company?? If you buy from any school fundraiser that has the caramel...
