These were fresh and have stayed fresh for quite a while now.taste very good thank you paulNot enough peanut butter filling.When I was just a little girl this was my very favorite candy bar and I can never find it here in stores and happened to think about ordering it and was so glad to be able to find it. I am now a great grandmother and plan to never run out of these. If you are a fan of peanut butter you will love the taste of this candy.They are as good as I remembered and my kids like them as well. It's a win-win!The taffy taste is not as good as the sister candy big hunk. It's a good value. Taste of the taffy could improve. Don't enjoy these as much as the big hunk candy. These are ok. I will not order these again though.They were not hard and brittleAs a total sugar addict and candy lover, I don't know how I made it to 47 without knowing about this candy. Peanut butter AND taffy?!?! My husband told me about it during a couples quiz we were doing- asking about our favorite childhood Halloween candy. I was actually describing Mary Janes, but he thought I was describing the "taxi cab wrapper" candy. A quick Google search brought us to Abba Zabba. Thanks to Amazon it was delivered to our doorstep and now it's my new favorite. The taffy is soft without being too sticky/chewy and the hint of peanut butter filling was the best suprise!! Generous portions too!
