Brach's party mix hard candy

I purchase the candy from b j's wholesale and the last two bags are totally unacceptable! They both are full of chocolate mint and strawberry filled. Because no one will eat the chocolate mints I am throwing tons of them out! Why would the bag that shows 6 different flavors not have all of them in there? I would think it would be an even mix.

Waste of money!

And your catagories below need to have more description.
Are you looking for company info on the store I bought them from?
If I wasnt so annoyed I would just dump this whole questionaire

Brach's maple nut goodies 6j13bb182 best used by 07/13/2017

Bought 4/1/2017 at family dollar store in greenville texas. They were so hard as rocks almost broke my teeth. Did not taste like they use to. They were not good at all it hurt my teeth to chew them up. If they are going to all taste like these just take them off the shelf. They were bad. They even tasted bad. I have been eating maple nut goodies for over 50 years.I feel you should refund me for a bad product.

I also purchased a 20 oz. bag of Maple nut goodies at Menards on 4/1/2017 that we were hard as a rock. It says right on the bag that there is a freshness guarantee, but I am having trouble finding how to get a refund or a coupon for a free bag. I will not purchase these from Menards again. I am leery to purchase these again but they are my Mom's favorite. Rhonda Simonette Waseca, MN

Brach's maple nut goodies

I purchased these this past weekend at a Menards in Rice Lake Wisconsin. Purchased (2) 20 oz bags. A favorite of mine always, but when I opened these up to try, they are rock hard. The toffee part is not soft and chewy at all and more brittle and like biting into a hard piece of candy. Felt like I was going to break a tooth on them. Lot # on the bag is 7B28BB183. Best use by date: 11/28/17 so not near expiration.

Brach's maple nut goodies

There is a serious problem with the quality of "Maple Nut Goodies" currently being sold. I see from other consumer comments on your website, I'm not the only person to have an issue with this product. I have been buying Maple Nut Goodies for over 60 years, this product has always had the highest quality and consistently good taste. The last (2) packages I purchased have been horrible, they are extremely hard and crunchy. The taste is not what I've come to expect and enjoy for 6 decades. I purchased both packages at Walmart in Concord, NC, the batch# above the "best by" date is 6K16BB183.
The best by date is 08/16/2017. Please tell me that you are aware of the cause for this change in quality/taste, and that you have taken the necessary steps to resolve this problem ASAP!

Sincerely,
Ed Tucker

Okay I thought I was the only one with complaints regarding the Maple Nut candy, the quality is no longer there, I do not like the one with the toffee. All your customer is asking for is he original candy, the last time I had the original candy was about four years ago, so I just stop buying the Maple Nut candy.

I just purchased 2 bags (at different stores) & both were awful. The coating was flaking off & they were really hard. I bought the second bag thinking maybe the candy at Walgreens wasn't stored properly & was exposed to heat, but the bag from Walmart was the same. What a bummer. =(

Brach's jelly beans

I have always looked forward toward Easter. First to thank Jesus for giving his life for my salvation and healing. It's an all year celebration, then I always look for your Spicy Jellybeans. For the several years I have not found them anywhere. The last time I bought them they weren't even very spicy. Very disappointed 😢. Before Hills Dept. Store went out of business, after Easter they marked the jellybeans down to 10( a bag. I bought $10.00 worth 😀😀..do the math.
Where can I find your really good SPICY JELLY BEANS?

Brach's brach's tiny jelly bird eggs

My sister looks forward to the Easter season so that she can eat as much jelly beans as she can as they along with the tiny conversation hearts around Valentine's Day are her all time favorite candies. We are very disappointed with the quantity of jelly beans in the 14 oz bag it appears to be half full. It seems like we are getting less product for the same price. I've provided a picture of the package. Thanks for listening.

Brach's maple nut goodies

Over this past month, I have purchased 12 bags at several different stores and all 12 bags purchased were too hard to eat. The actual coating tasted funny, not the normal texture. I am 53 years of age and have purchased Maple Nut Goodies most of my life, my mother actually introduced me to this amazing tasting candy in my childhood. I have never had this issue in my experience eating this candy. Purchase were made at Wal-Mart, Dollar Tree & Walgreens in Horn Lake, MS, also @ Dollar General in Memphis, TN. Wal-Mart purchases (2) bags, unable to locate receipt, Dollar Tree (1) unable to locate receipt Dollar General purchase was on 3/4/17 (7) bags, Walgreens purchase was made on 3/12/17 (2) bags. I have 8 bags here at home, since they were opened, I didn't think I could return them...the other bags and contents were tossed away at work. We are not allowed to leave the premises with food, so security made me throw them away. Lot # 6J07BB183, 6L07BB183, 6B27BB182, 6L14BB183, 6K21BB182 all Best By Dates 7/7/17, 8/21/17 & 9/13/17.

Brach's black jelly bird eggs

I buy these every year, I just love them. But while eating them yesterday I found that my bag of jellybeans had black spicy one's mixed in my bag. I spit the spicy one's. I would say that a tenth of the bag were the spicy one's. I ate my jellybeans and spit out the bad one's though. I have never had this happen before. I understand production line's, but there were just too many spicy one's mixed in with the regular jellybeans.

Brach's maple nut goodies

I purchased a bag of maple nut goodies and they were stale or something because the outside of the candy was soft and the inside of the candy was hard as a rock. instead of the crunchy outside and chewy goodness I was expecting to have as a treat I got a rockhard nugget of yuck. This is my favorite candy and when I opened the bag I got a whiff of that yummy maple flavor, then I took a piece and it was so hard I couldn't even chew it. the info on the bag is 6L9BB182 best by 09/18/2017 & UPC# [protected]. Please send me a replacement bag.

Brach's brachs maple nut goodies

Purchased a 4 oz bag of maple nut goodies. They were hard and crispy not like a nut goodie. They were purchased at a local Menard's in Blaine, MN.
The use by date is 08/28/2017. So not old. I see by the complaint board the exact same complaint. The date of this is 2/14/2017. I would at a minimum like a response to this complaint about the quality and taste of maple nut goodies.

Brach's - maple nut goodies

Is this the End? My name is Ronda Lee. I am a grandmother, 58 years old and to start this I must tell a story. When I was around 6 I lived in Baton Rouge and was shopping in a sears store with mom and my brothers. Mom stopped after much begging on our part at the candy store located by the elevators for us to look and I decided on the maple nuts. Oh the...

Brach's brachs maple nut goodies

I purchased two bags of the maple nut goodies from two different stores about a week apart and both dated July 2017 as the best by date for freshness. I was very disappointed with both. They were very hard and crispy. I have never had bags like these before and I have been eating this snack for many years now. I had to throw them away because they were not good at all. I purchased the second bag thinking this would be a better bag but it wasn't. This make me not to want to purchase them again. If you have changed the way they are cooking these it is not a quality product that Brach candy is known for. You have a dissatisfied customer right now. I love this candy but not if it is hard and crispy as the last two bags I purchased.

Brach's maple nut goodies 20 oz. and peg bags

I purchased 2 bags of maple nut goodies from my local Walgreens drug store, as I have in the past and had to return them to the store for an exchange- they were hard as rocks. The goodies were also hard as rocks. The dates were dated for two different dates in August 2017. Had to return the exchanged bags. Got my money back. They only had 1 more bag on shelf with the same date. I was at Cracker Barrell yesterday and purchased a 20oz.bag of maple nut goodies and they too are hard as a rock. Best by 6/16/2017.I live in central Florida near Disney World and have never had this problem. I grew up eating these candies as my grandfather did.Please! I thought this was a retailer problem at the Walgreens on Hwy.27 in Haines City Florida 33844. But Cracker Barrell has the same problem in Davenport Florida also. I would like to know where I could get the candies and receive money back for the bag I got from Cracker Barrell. Maybe you could send me quality product without me having to go back and exchange product when they aren't good. Lot of aggravation to do that.

Brach's lemon drops

I used to buy these regularly. Lately they have been extremely tart on the outside then absolutely no taste throughout. Whats up. When i called they stated that they had moved the facility and were trying to get the recipe right. I bought 4 bags on 12-30-2016 at publix supermarket and they were all bad. Code 124239 and on the back left bottom 6J13VR1043. Request 4 coupons or a refund. Thanks, Catherine Coman.

i too purchased the Lemon Drops . Horrible! The individual wrapped batches were good. but I bought a bigger bag, actually 2 of them, that were not individual wrapped in the package & they are the worst. Very Stale tasting even though the date on the bags are good. The candies are coated with sugar/lemon, but once that is gone, so is the flavor of the remaining candy. What's up with that? Do you have no more pride in producing these candies? I see alot of complaints & not any responses to those complaints. Doesn't any one care anymore?
