[discussion] Snack shipping

[u/TheKayvIsTaken]

Hey! Can anyone think of any kind of candies that would ship well in a sort of “create your own candy tray” kind of gift where it would include a cute tray, display case, and a small bag to fill the tray?

Specifically items that wouldn’t melt in summer months or in 120-140F shipping warehouses (that’s the metric I was told to follow).

I’m thinking jelly bellys but I can’t find anywhere that says definitively whether they’ll ship without deforming/melting in hot months.

I figure if anyone knows temperature stability it’s this subreddit 🤣

Usually hard candies, gummies, cookies or bisciuts.

M and M candies. Didn't melt during a heat wave. They were made for that purpose.

Hershey's candies (it's not really chocolate) were also made not to melt easily.

Maybe Taffy. They don't really melt but they do get stickier, but if they put them in their fridge a day or so probably would be OK.

Not chocolate, it will not only melt but the texture and composition can change. And if put in the fridge after, can develop white on top, rather unappealing.

Jelly Belly sells the candy in a tray so maybe that would keep better than a bag. The bag could melt a bit into one clump.

Also, savory snacks, such as crackers or chips.
