Heavenly Hunks Oatmeal Dk Chocolate, 22 oz Bag

UPDATE 2023-07-11: While putting together a cart of other items, Amazon suggested that I might want to buy these again, so I looked and many newer reviews seemed far happier with far fewer comments of them being rancid/sour like my previous two bags from 2022-09-27, so I gambled and bought another bag... AND THESE ONES TASTE GREAT!!! No terrible taste as soon as you bite into them, I ate three already... no weird white residue, they don't feel dry/dusty like the past ones, and the bag I got today doesn't expire until May 2024... so 10 months out, lot number 053023 so made in May and only a month a half since bagged. Bags I received in Sept 2022 expired in Feb 2023 with lot number 200228... so had already sat around for 7 months with 5 months remaining on best by date. The ingredients list has changed ever so slightly again too... with "Organic sugars" after potato starch near the bottom, and Vitamin E added to the end of the list, neither which would seems to account for the previous terrible bags... which I have to assume were just stored too long/stored badly which ruined them, or bad batches from the manufacturer at the time. That said... who wants to gamble on your snacks being rancid on any given order? Optimistically bumping stars back up to 3 though, and will give them another chance since this bag is delicious like the previous previous Costco ones. ======== October 2022 Previous headline: Just bad... NOTHING like same product from Costco a couple years ago... not sure why. I had previously gotten these from Costco in 2019 and LOVED them. So much so that I kept the empty bag to remind me to check if they were ever back in stock at Costco, and even checked Meijer and other stores for them, but never found them again. I STILL have the empty bag from 2019 with Best By date of 6/20/19. Fast forward to a month and a half ago and I finally found they were available here on Amazon... awesome, immediate buy! So I ordered TWO bags so I'd have plenty in case they went out of stock. Unfortunately, these are nothing like the ones from Costco in 2019. As others have said, these seem to have a terrible off chemical smell and taste to them... I can't place the smell, but girlfriend describes it as "sour". I don't recall them seeming to have a white film over them previously like these seem to either. I tried one from both bags and had to spit them both out. I even decided to wait a month to retry them again, but there's just no way, they're bad. Both new bags are Lot# 022822 2059 MP12 and say they're Best By 2023-02-28. Just really disappointed. Attached images of previous bag from Costco and current one from Amazon, and differences in ingredients between the two... maybe it's just recipe/ingredient change, I don't know, but I don't see how anyone is eating these current ones, and I'm just really disappointed.
