Oranges Slices: 5LBS

I purchased these orange gummies for Father's Day, because they are my father's favorite candy. I thought they would last him a few months, if not more I mean, it's five dang pounds of candy right!! I was wrong. Lol they were all gone in under a months time. Bless his heart, he said they were delicious and fresh.

Ordered the Farley's orange slices but actually received the Bayside Gourmet Fruit Slices. They are okay and I will use them for orange slice cakes -- would have preferred the Farley's. I was surprised when these arrived in a box (sealed, loose in box), but not in a plastic bag.

Orange slices have been a favorite for years and years, but these are the very best I've ever bought. Unlike the ones packed in those round 1-pound plastic containers, usually found in grocery and drug stores, these are absolutely fresh! The gel is soft and the sugar is not hard, and the flavor is crisp and true. I highly recommend these candies!

January 17, 2024 Update:Downgrading my review to 1 starI just received an order of the orange slices. Unfortunately they now have an unpleasant chemical taste. I do not like them and will be throwing them out.———————————————————-My original review from several years ago:These orange slices are wonderful. They do not have any of that unpleasant chemical taste most store brand orange slices seem to have these days.

I ordered four 5lb bags and got 2 big 10lb bags in a flimsy USPS box. There were big holes in 2 corners. Luckily the bags were not punctured.

A really nice, familiar product. Reliably good and satisfies the desire for that citrus chewiness. I keep a portion in fridge in airtight container and balance outside, stored in same. Arrived in great shape and on time.

Not very much orange flavor. It was a good price, so I guess they decided to save some money by saving on the flavor, which was very low, much lower than name brands, like brachs.

Was delighted to find that Amazon offered this food product. The product was exactly what I wanted for an candied orange oatmeal cookie recipe. The cookies were great, by the way.
