What is the expiry date if I order today and how many bags do I need for 200 people?

When I ordered this, it came half melted and re-hardened into chunks that were impossible to work with in the fountain. This was not during the summer so I do not believe it happened during shipping. So word of caution. I feel it was already expired and was angry with myself for trying to go cheap.

Our office runs a small chocolate fountain - to get it to run it takes about 4 lbs for it to flow like it should. 4 lbs of chocolate feed about 20 in our office on one fountain - and that is with us standing around eating it and socializing. As long as you follow the microwave directions it shouldn't matter if it is accidently melted in transport - using 50 percent heat at 2 min x2 is what it took to melt it and it ran smoothly through the machine.

My bag doesn't show an expiration date, but I've had it for about a year, I think. The chocolate is still great - I used a few in a small bowl last week! I'd say that 2 bags is probably enough for about 20 people, so if you're having a big party, I'd plan on about 18-20 bags. With a group that size, you probably won't use all the chocolate. Hope this helps!

I've ordered over 120 packs at one time and lasted me over 2 yrs. I do not know the expiration date, but I keep them in the refrigerator.

I'm afraid I will not be much help. My order was 48 bags ... but do not recall the price. However, I can't imagine I would've ordered 48 if they came by the dozen. For what I was using them for ... I didn't think I needed 4 dozen. But, I can tell you -- they are really nice!

The expiration date on my purchases was always over 2 1/2 years. If you won't use 100 in the next 2 years, consider buying a smaller quantity.

Every batch is different. All that I have received have expiration dates about 9 months into the future, and they have all been consumed about the time the next batch arrives (4 bags every 3 months). Keeps my wife very happy!!!

My latest order expires in July of 2014. It expires a year from when it was packed.

I purchased mine about 6 months ago, the bag has an expiration date of 12-31-2016. Going by that, over 2 years I would think.

I checked the one bag I have left and I would suggest you contact their consumer affairs department at 1-800-636-1406. They are really delicious and since I don't have allergies, I have not had to worry about it. Sorry for not being more specific regarding your question but hope having their phone number you can get the correct info you are seeking.

I am sorry that I can't answer that. It was almost two years ago when we had our party. We ordered three bags and after serving over 75 people we had a lot leftover. People were eating on them all evening. They were very good, they were soft and mellow with a really good taste. I hope this will help you. I thought they were well worth the money.

I would say a tube per person should be enough, but maybe get 5 total (one extra)... that way if you run a little short you won't regret it. It doesn't have an expiration date so you can always save any leftover for later!

Hello Michael, the code imprinted on the bottom of all the bags were either 1242,1237,1243, or 1241. I plugged the date codes into a MRE calculator and found out they were all manufactured in 2011. here was the response on one of the bags: Manufacture Date: 30 AUG 2011 Estimated Shelf Life 30 DEC 2014 Remaining Time None Sucks to be me, lol. I have eaten two though and they are alright. Hope this helps.

I don't know the "usual" expiration date, but the bag I purchased 8/2014 is good through 3/2016.
