Hey I am new to the sight and I wanted to know if anybody is selling sugar-free products; nuts and chocolate covered nuts, cherries or raisins. Do they sell good?

I’d stay away from nuts or any candies that contain nuts except peanut M&Ms. Boston baked beans go stale way to fast and I’ve had mold problems with cashews and peanuts. M&M peanut candies are the only one that moves fast enough that the mold problem doesn’t exist The candy shell will crack and the chocolate will become dry and powdery if they are stale.

I suggest staying away from nuts and the other products you mentioned. Nuts can work, and out of my 3000 machines I have maybe 5 I still use them in. My experience has been mostly bad with the products spoiling quickly here in the south/midwest. You might find a jewel of a place where it works, but I would concentrate on higher profit margins products like gumballs, skittles, Reeses pieces. For nut alternatives I use MM Peanuts as was already mentioned.

Thanks,
Mark

Peanuts sold pretty well for me, but then didn't sell very well a few months later. I eventually decided to discontinue the peanuts and double up on peanut m+m's.
