What is the shelf life or expiration date for these? I need them for an event the end of May - not sure how soon to order, yet avoid staleness.

I had them a month before I used them. I actually used them for a Girl Scout event and didn't taste them. So, not sure if they were fresh. No one complained. Don't remember the expiration date but I did use it before the date.

I got a new batch which was only a few months old and did have a five year shelf life from that date. I don't remember the exact dates and they are packed in my go bag.

I do not see an expiration date on the package. But being a dried product, I would think, if stored properly, they would last quite a while.

They were fresh. Not sure if there was a best to use by date. I open the packs and put them in an airtight container and they stay fresh.

My latest shipment seems stale but the expiration date isn't for a while. It's a pain to return and we were out, so will just deal. Next time I'll order further in advance and return if they are stale again.

Jessica, I purchased these for my daughters wedding in April of 2013, and we had so many that we are still eating them. Just had some for a bridal shower last week and they are still good. They are good for at least a year. Don't think they will still be around in another year to test. My hubby loves them. Celeste

It is not too soon to order. They have a six month expiration on them and will actually still taste delicious if used beyond the expiration date. I always order a few extra because my experience has been that a few may arrive broken. Enjoy!

I'd say awhile if you keep them sealed in a plastic bag. I had mine for about 2 weeks before our party-didn't open them and they were fresh and tasted good when we opened them.

We used ours within a couple months of getting them and they were delicious. Came upon a couple we'd forgotten to eat months later and they were still good. But they're not marked with an expiration date that I can remember.

I don't have the exact dates because I don't have the original packaging anymore. But that being said, the candy was very fresh and tasty. And I have ordered them more then once and I have never had a problem with any of them being old or stale.

Brandon, the date is on the end of the box, I keep mine in the Freezer so they keep longer. You can keep them frozen for 3 months if they last that long.

The ones I bought last month say they are good through October 2015, but I'm assuming that's unopened. Once opened I would just freeze them!

Yikes! Sorry just seeing this. Mine expired about 3 months after purchase so you can certainly order now if you haven't ordered already. Love them!

You would need to call the manufacturer and ask expiration dates vs their inventory and when shipped. Consumers would not have any idea of that information. I can tell you that they don't last more than 3 or 4 weeks because we eat them. I can also tell you that we ordered these more than three times in the past year. One pack arrived here in California for Father's day and we put the last half dozen pieces in the fridge when it got hot at the end of June. We forgot them in there for over two months and the liquor started to blend with the chocolate. By September, they were not as good - so I would not recommend putting them in the fridge or leaving them there for extended period of time.

You would be better asking the seller. I bought these awhile ago, and mine weren't expired. Sorry

I have bought new sealed ones that were dried out, so I don't think the shelf life is very long. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I have no idea what the shelf life is. I just buy about a 2 month supply at a time. Check the expiration date on the package.
