Fannie May Mint Meltaways

I loved these ever since I was a little girl. My great grandmother had these and she would share

These are delicious chocolate mints that unfortunately disappear much more quickly than I expect. Maybe it's the number of candies in the box, I'm not sure. Probably it would be helpful if it had some kind of a timed-release locking mechanism to limit my consumption to 1 per day.

These chocolates are absolutely delicious! They reminded me of growing up in the 60’s and going to Fanny Farmer’s in my hometown. SO good that a box is going in care packages for our grown sons. Try them- you will not be disappointed.

Please don't send this candy to anyone when it is HOT ! This time I sent it to myself when it was hot and the package seemed like it had been flipped around inside and the candy was everywhere and the candy squares had melted and blended together and it was almost soupy. I refrigerated it and I had to cut it into pieces but it still tasted okay. Just so you know it came at 8 p.m. and I was there when the UPS driver got there but it was in a very hot truck all day. Terrible as a "gift" (cause messy) in the summer! Otherwise, delicious !

I but these twice a year for my mother and she raves about them. They melt in your mouth and have a nice smooth texture, kind of velvety, with a strong, but not overpowering minty taste...with a tough of chocolate too

I used to get a similar product from Russell Stover and they were so creamy and fresh. I found these and ordered them for Christmas for my husband as we haven't been able to find the Russell Stover version for a long time and was so excited to try these. They tasted like they were years old and I was so disappointed. I am sure they are wonderful if you get them from the actual Fannie May store..but from Amazon who knows how long they have been there. Would love to try them fresh to see if they compare. I wish I could find the Russell Stover ones but wonder if they stopped making them.

These used to be exceptionally good so I bought 3 boxes for the holidays. I opened the first box and tried a piece of each color, chewing thoughtfully, then spit them out. I thought they would be fresh given they had been out of stock when I placed the order but not only were they horribly stale, they tasted like soap and it took hours and a LOT of milk to get the nasty taste out of my mouth. I opened a 2nd box and some of the green ones were sideways and not completely coated - they looked an absolute mess. Threw all 3 boxes out or would have included a photo. Buyer Beware!

I ordered this because I was looking for the Fannie Farmer mint chocolate bars I remembered from childhood. Apparently Fanny Farmer is no longer a company but the company that makes these bought them out. So I had high hopes. The chocolates arrived in the condition you see in the photos. There has obviously been some damage in transit or in storage before they were shipped. It being cold this month, it is hard to imagine the damage happened during transit unless they were placed very bear and for prolonged time near a heat source. They also look like they are falling apart. I don’t think the damage is recent. The packaging was untouched and intact, so it is hard to determine just what happened except that there was no animal damage. I had a raging head cold when they arrived so until it lessened it was hard to tell if they were fresh. However, since then, they seem a bit stale. The taste is similar to my beloved Fannie Farmer original, but given the size of the individual candies the proportion of green coating is greater in relation to the chocolate interior than it was for the bars. So, close in taste, but disappointing. Also, only half of the candies were coated. Unless I hear from the sender with some explanation of how these arrived in the state they did and receive both a discount and assurances there will be no repeat, I will not order these again. So sad when memories are so elusive when you try to replicate the original that you so loved.
