How long is the candy good?

To put out on Halloween this year? Yikes. Where do you live, will skip your home

I was just at Harris Teeter and picked up a bag of M&Ms with a best buy date of 10/2024. I thought I might be misreading it so I looked closer and it was indeed 2024. I checked all the bags and they were also 2024. They have some nerve selling candy so out of date. I’m glad I realized but I bet someone will buy it for Halloween without realizing. M&Ms definitely go stale.


Harris Teeter has an issue with food that is expired. I find I have to check the dates on so many things I buy.

I think junky TT candy is probably fine. High quality chocolate will go down hill.

A few years if kept indoors in A/C room temp conditions. It's high sugar. Sugar is a preservative.

Most homes in trh DMV do not have AC all year long. If candy has been left out room temp during months when you used heat, you might want to freeze it and eat yourself.

It's so packed with preservatives that it will never go bad, not in the sense that it will make you sick. Are you too young to remember all the agita around twinkies?

What country are you from? Just curious, as you seem confused by what the pp said.
