Much too quickly, much too expensive

I have seen some awkward expression to me, much too quickly, much too expensive and then here should we say that much modifies too or much too modifies quickly and expensive or much modifies too expensive and too quickly.

I think that much as a adverb modifies too. What do you native English speakers think?

Thank you so much as usual in advance.

I would say that "much" modifies "too", and "much too" then modifies the word following. This pattern is correct English; it is not awkward.
