I Tried The New M&M Flavor For the First Time

Alright guys, here's how this one went down. 

As you probably remember, I like trying new things.  Even if I end up not liking the thing, I do enjoy the process of trying it.  I'm willing to try ALMOST anything once.

MOST anything. Don't try to test me.

Anyway, NJ and I went out to a local food library not that long ago, and right by the front door, I saw these!

It's kinda hard to mess up an M&M.  In general, I like almost all of the ones I've tried. I  mean, I can't remember any that were just Super Gross or anything.  So our curiosity was peaked, and we decided to buy some.  But what makes them "holiday" peanuts?

Made with a nostalgic blend of cinnamon, vanilla, spiced sugar, and caramel roasted peanuts, these real milk chocolate candies are coated in red, green, and yellow candy shells, perfect for the holidays.

Huh.  Okay.

So yeah, they're not the full colors, but they're festive enough.

Overall, NJ said he really liked them. But you see, when he says he likes something but then doesn't go for any more, he only casually likes them.  These were sitting on the kitchen counter all weekend, and he never did go back to the M&M well.

Me, I liked them as well, but... I didn't get any of what they were talking about.  To me, they taste like slightly different peanut candies, but I don't really get flavors of cinnamon or caramel.

But, that's not really the point.  Did we like them? Yes.  Would we buy them again? Sure. Are they going to be a Christmas staple? Eh, maybe.  You could pretty easily mix them into other peanut M&Ms at your holiday parties and I'm not sure anyone would notice.  Or if they did, they wouldn't be like, "Oh god, what is that gross nonsense", they'd just think they were a little different.

But I don't think they could spot the difference either.  But hey, they're worth a try!
