Unfortunately, very old and stale; disappointed.

Marshmallows were very stale and melted together, also had a very unpleasant odor. Very disappointed. Had to throw all away.

It is old or something. It had a funky taste, flavor. Another disappointment. That, and I thought I was ordering what I had ordered before, Sweet And Hot. I don't know what happened there, but it is a big screw up when you order five of them.

STALE, OVERLY SWEET, ALMOST NO MARZIPAN FLAVOR, POORLY PACKAGED WITH "USE BY" DATE LEFT BLANK FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, MADE WITH AS LITTLE ALMOND PASTE AS THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH.  (IS IT AGAINST THE LAW TO LEAVE A "USE BY" DATE BLANK ON A FOOD PACKAGE???).

The new, plastic packaging is a failure, I feel: the product was already STALE when I opened the new package for the first time. Seriously.
The former packaging, a foil pouch, kept the product moist for over a YEAR. Seriously.

Disappointed, product is old/stale!! Though not past expiration.
Returning.  I buy this regularly from whole foods and it has never looked/tasted bad like this!!

So disappointed! These are my favorite bars but in this box, the bars were hard and stale. And not worth the hassle of returning.

The product is old, almost expiring  and taste horrible and very stale. You shouldn't sell a product like that.

I took a chance on ordering the licorice allsorts from Amazon assuming that because they had just started selling this item last week I would have a good chance of getting a bag of fresh candy. WRONG! This stuff tastes like it has been on someone's shelf for a couple of years and while it is not rock hard yet, it is pretty darn close.

I am very disappointed.

Update July 13, 2006: A friend of mine ordered some of the Allsorts from Amazon (against my advice) and - big surprise - their order was also stale. It is really too bad because if these allsorts were fresh they would be the best tasting I have ever had. I hope Amazon can get it together and get a fresh batch of these candies because then they would be worthy of a 5 star rating.

these were unfortunately not fresh, otherwise awesome chocolates  when fresh, but these were super old, they were crumbling when I opened them so i had to throw them away :(

Very disappointed. I eat these all the time but the last two cases I have received we frustratingly stale. I ended up using them for dog snacks. Of course I could have returned them but how do you know if the pack is stale until you open them!?! And you can't return opened food. Will not buy these again unfortunately. This brand normally has the best flavor of any of the apple chips but I've wasted $40 on 2 cases where at least 60% of them went to my dogs due to their staleness. And yes I did check the expiration date and it had not passed. Just poor QC on Seneca's side I guess.

The candy in some of the bags was old, some fresh...disappointing.

When I was a child, rice candy was the perfect ending to Chinese dinners, so when I found the opportunity to re-order Botan Rice Candy, I took it. The same red and green package...the same pale pink nuggets with rice paper "edible" coating... I really looked forward to tasting the subtle candy. But unfortunately - and to my big disappointment --  the candy was almost rock hard -- indicating it was OLD and STALE. Never again, would I buy from this supplier. Such a shame!

I have had these before and loved them but unfortunately this box tasted stale.  All the bars seem kind of dry even though they are within their date range.  I was disappointed because the flavor I used to order has been out of stock for so long I finally switched to these,  Typically these bars are very delicious though if they are fresh.

The chocolate coating on bars is old, stale and crumbly. Not happy with the age of the received product.

This was sent as a give to my 86 year old father in law.  Unfortunately, when he received them he (embarrassed) said they were stale and didn't taste very good.  You can imagine how embarrassed I felt giving them.  I would not recommend these as a gift.

Not so good, like the beef.  Was disappointed  because even though they have a 2019 expiration date, they look like they are somewhat dried up or stale.

Wanted to like this  but nuts were horribly stale and some of the fruit had very odd chemical smell and most of the box was unpalatable.  The dates were about the only things that were edible.  Wanted to see if this would make a nice gift for our neighbors  thank goodness I tried it first.  I try to avoid negative reviews but the box I received w an expiration sticker of March 2019 was not anything I would want anyone to eat  especially children.
