My Experiences:

While strolling down the grocery store aisle today what did I see?  My M&M's staring at me, begging me to pick up their new box?  Box, why a box?  Aren't they supposed to be in a bag?  Okay, you have my attention now.  I picked up the box.  Hmmm M&M Premiums?  Chocolate Almonds...yum!

I bought this pretty blue box of delights that seemed to be designed to fit perfectly in your hand.  I saw different flavors of this new style of M&M's.  There were mint, raspberry, almond and mocha flavors.  I decided to get the Chocolate Almond.  I love almonds!

I got home and opened up the box.  I was surprised to see that they looked like little robin eggs with m&m printed on them.  I originally thought that they were wrapped in paper.  When I picked one up I found out that they are not wrapped.  I guess that is why they come in a resealable bag. 

Well, to me they taste like a Hershey's Kiss with almonds.  It's a whole different taste than eating a regular m&m.  Not that it was bad...just different.  I like my m&m's plain, so I probably won't be buying these again. 

These were on sale 2 for $7.00.  It's more than I would pay for candy, but it was calling me to try them.  It's not my fault!  Sometimes chocolate just takes over my mind!

You get about 70 little candies inside one box which is supposed to have four servings.  So really you should only be eating 1/4 of the bag which will cost you 240 calories!  Now, who is only going to eat the recommended serving?  Not me...

  3. They do look like robin eggs! Very cute. When it comes to taste though, I tend to be rather conservative, like you. :) Give me my plain old M&M's! :)

  5. anything that says "premium" is like saying it's SPECIAL lol or adult i guess. I haven't seen these but I am curious!

  6. I love chocolte and almonds, I will have to keep my eye out for these.

  7. I have not seen these - but I'm like you - I like my M and Ms the way they are so I'll probably skip buying "premium" M and Ms.

  8. I haven't came across these at all, but when I want an M&M, I want an M&M, not something that tastes like something else, lol. Thanks for the interesting review on something new!

  9. I haven't seen these, from the picture I thought they were wrapped also when you said they weren't I had to relook at the picture! I might try these if I see them on sale, otherwise I will stick with regular M&Ms or maybe with peanuts ;)

  20. I'm going to have to try these so thanks for the review. My dad knows a guy who works for Mars and I get to try the new stuff they come up with but I haven't eaten these yet. I'm still sad they discontinued the caramel M&Ms but these look pretty good, especially because I love almonds. Mmm.

  21. That is an awfully expensive M&M but I suppose we are paying for the "luxury" of mint and "adult" flavors. I might try them if I can find them on a super/duper sale.

  22. Sounds interesting. My husband especially loves almonds, I like plain.

    Karen on July 11, 2008 18:28 (reply to this)

  23. Those must be yummy! I haven't seen these yet, but will keep an eye out for them.
