A lady at my church bought some gluten free brownie mixes for me at a place called "Dirty Dan's"....some discount/wholesale place in Missouri, while she was on vacation. They were 50 cents apiece (and they sell for six dollars at the grocery store.)
The thing is, they expired in March. Gluten free foods generally don't have much, if any, preservatives. Here's the ingredient list...sugar, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, white rice flour, potato starch, corn starch, xanthan gum, salt.
Would you make and eat them?
(I am having a cranky night. I've been looking forward to my husband's stir-fry all day...and the new garlic powder I bought is NOT gluten free, which I never would have guessed, and he used it before he saw. So I don't get to have my dinner, I had to make a scrambled cheesy egg for the baby instead of feeding HER the stir-fry, and I'm hungry. I want these brownies!)
Thanks so much, ladies! You've given me the courage to eat brownies for dinner!! :) Thanks...I needed that!
I'd eat them - they're brownies!! YUM. Now, I would NOT eat that stir fry that my husband made after bombing the house for fleas (or whatever it was) But brownies that are possibly expired? Yes indeed.
There is nothing in that ingredient list that would go bad.
I am sure they are fine. the sell by date is usually printed instead of an actual expiration date. Things like yogurt keep two weeks after the SBD. and dry goods much much longer.

i would, generally things will not taste as good as they would have if eaten past the :"sell by" date, but 99% of those foods are just fine to eat. I would steer clear of meat and diary additives in an expired product, but not ingredients like that.
eat your brownies!
Yes, I would at least try them. They should be fine.
As long as they're bug free, try a box & see how they taste.
No.
But its probably fine.
I'd make them, so long as I didn't see any mold or bugs or anything.
With those ingredients I would make them. Taste them, and if they're not good -oh well! I don't think anything in there would hurt you between March and now. For some foods, they're just required to put a date on them -they don't ever really "expire." They may get kind of stale or old tasting, but I'm betting they'll taste fine!
