I have found that M&M's ship okay during the early summer months especially the peanut ones. I freeze them first before I sent them so they have a better chance of lasting. During the months of July and August I send chocolate pudding singles, the kind that you find in the baking section of the grocery store that don't require a fridge. Also tootsie rolls hold up to the heat, they get alittle sticky but they don't melt.

 This is the website for dollar tree direct. If you would like to order a large quantity of something which you've seen in the store, they can have it shipped directly to the store and I BELIEVE the shipping is free. Please check with them when you order, they also have an 800# you can call.

  I know I have just emptied out some piggy banks with this... hehehe
 

I thought this was pretty funny, and a good reminder that "chocolate season" is over:

I would like to throw out one note of caution; a few of the recent boxes had packages of chocolate treats, which didn't make the journey. Their remains have been given the appropriate honors and properly disposed of.

Just wonder if the box was licked clean or what?

I know a few die hard chocoholics that would ... lol

I was wondering what "properly disposed of" meant. Thanks for clearing it up for me! You are probably right!

 I send Trader Joe's Chocolate Tea Bags and Mint Tea Bags along with sugar and splenda packets and of course, brightly colored styrofoam cups.  When you brew these two teas together and put it over ice it is almost as good as a chocolate kissed mint julep.

Best,
