Germack?

I was thinking on ordering the 3 jar Germak, read the older reviews and they are not very favorable. Has anyone here got them recently and what do you think?

I've had some, and I think they are good. In fact, I would not buy them because they would tempt me in a midnight pantry raid.

I haven't ordered them recently; last year or so. But I was on auto-delivery for awhile. The only reason I stopped was because the product is so darn yummy! With it being just Hubs and I, we couldn't afford the extra calories. Now, Germack is a special treat.

I haven't seen a Germack presentation in years but always think of the lady who would demonstrate the product by plowing her fingers - with impeccably polished nails - through the dish of nuts. It was strange.

I ordered them several times as gifts, and they were well received.

All of the varieties I bought were good, but the varieties with fruit and nuts are far more fruit, and not so many nuts.

I stopped buying this product because I wanted nuts, not fruit, and it was cheaper to just buy a big can of the nuts I wanted, at Sam’s.

I bought Germack last holiday season. I gave them as Christmas presents to a few friends but I kept two jars for myself. Omg...! That was some good stuff. So good that i won't buy it again....it's addictive.

I had been ordering Germack for about three years and loved them. Last year, I placed two separate large orders (of my usual favorites), and they were very inconsistent in quality and recipe. Sometimes there were 75% of one ingredient and the all the rest of the ingredients made up the remaining 25%. It happened with several jars of the stuff, so last year was my last year with Germack.

Not only that, I got tired of getting stale product. I have not ordered in 3 years. The product used to be consistent and fresh, to bad it changed.

I got them when they first came to the Q. They were full of nuts - only nuts, even whole cashews, they were delicious! Then it seemed once they began adding raisins/candy the quality dropped dramatically.

I then tried them a couple years ago and they were nothing as described. Didn't seem fresh - mostly tiny, stale raisins! If I want stale, gooey raisins, I can pick up a package in the grocery store a lot cheaper.

I must admit, I did order the ODO because there are no raisins in the mix. Hopefully, their quality has greatly improved. If not, I shall call C/S and request a refund and never, ever buy this brand again!
