Christmas Mint M Ms For The Holidays By Joan Young on Dec 05, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Mars brings out the special flavors at holiday time, and these are definitely yummy.

These M&Ms candies are a little bit bigger than regular M&Ms, and come in red, green and white. The thing that is special about this flavor is that they are mint, with the milk chocolate coating of the regular ones.

The package features the “sexy” green M&M!, and a recipe for cookies that look like tree ornaments... sort of a recipe. It uses refrigerated cookie dough and pre-packaged frosting. Sorry, but I don't count stuff like that as real recipes. Of course, there are lots of real recipes that use M&Ms available!

The mint is peppermint, and they really smell minty. If you plan to use them and someone in your family really is bothered by mint, they will not even want to be near these. But if you like mint... well... better hide the package.

One serving is 1/4 cup, at 210 calories.
