Best Candy w/Longest Shelf Life

[scobrien]

Ok my question is... What is the best kind of candy that has the longest shelf life?

Currently in my machines i have;

Peanut MM's

Regular MM's

1/2in Gumballs

Skittles

Jelly Bellys

Im letting the jelly bellys sell out and not going to refill them because the return on them is very low.  They sell great but 15.00 for 4lbs for flavored jelly bellys is nuts.  Im going to wait until easter hits and gwet them on sale.

I hear a lot about Peanut MM's... do they last long? I hear they crack and create a mess?

Thanks for opinions.

Keep the PMM's out of the sun and you should be fine. Mine sell quick enough that the cracking and spoilage aren't a problem. I guess it depends on the traffic you have at your machines.

M&M peanuts are one of the more perishable candy products. Keep them out of the sun. As with all products if they are not selling replace them with something else.

Thanks Big Mike.  Good thing is all the doctor offices are suites inside a office building.  No windows in waiting area and always nice and cold in the offices.  So far though since my candy change pmm's are doing great!

I have just pulled PM&M's fro a machine because next month they will be 6 months old and they were not selling there.  I tasted them and they still seem alright !

wow 6 months. That's great to know! None of them were cracked? So far it seems 2-3 months and candy is gone.
