<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
These Cookies & Screeem M&M\u2019s exemplify a trend I have been noticing in the last few years. In a world inundated with pumpkin, peppermint, and red velvet flavors for holidays, some companies make whatever flavor they feel like and somehow say it\u2019s a holiday version. (I was disappointed last November when I asked for a pumpkin shake at Jack in the Box and their only \u201cseasonal\u201d offering was a Golden Oreo salted caramel shake. What does that<\/em> have to do with Thanksgiving or Christmas!?) Like last year\u2019s Boo-tterscotch M&Ms, these Cookies & Screeem ones don\u2019t really have anything to do with Halloween.<\/p>\n They\u2019re kind of<\/em> Halloweeny because they\u2019re black (or dark purple). I guess that\u2019s how they justify it. But it\u2019s still not as Halloweeny as the regular orange and black M&Ms of my childhood. (If my memory serves me right, they added purple and green to the orange and black in 2008, which I thought made them look more Eastery, and they switched to fall colors in 2010.)<\/p>\n These M&M\u2019s consist of a speckled shell, a layer of dark chocolate, and a white chocolate center. That\u2019s all that makes up the \u201ccookies and cream\u201d side of it; if they added other flavors, I can\u2019t detect it, and the ingredients list is too vague. I do think it\u2019s a cool concept to have two kinds of chocolate in one candy.<\/p>\n One of the first things I notice when I eat one is a chemical quality, probably from all the food coloring they used to make them black.<\/p>\n I like dark chocolate M&M\u2019s. I like white chocolate M&M\u2019s. But sometimes two rights make a wrong. These chocolates aren\u2019t terrible, but I feel like the bitterness of the dark clashes with the sweetness of the white. I like the two flavors better when they\u2019re on their own.<\/p>\n The sizes are inconsistent, and I actually like the small ones better. The ratio of dark to white is more enjoyable in the small ones.<\/p>\n I wasn\u2019t able to brush my teeth immediately after trying these, and a few minutes after I had tasted them, I got an aftertaste that tasted like Oreo. That was the closest I got to the cookies and cream experience, and even that was fleeting. I would have liked these a lot more if they followed a traditional cookies and cream approach: white chocolate with crunchy cookie bits. <\/p>\n Will you go through the whole bag? Probably. But this is one of the brand\u2019s weaker offerings.<\/p>\n (Nutrition Facts – 1 oz.\/about 16 pieces – 140 calories, 7 grams of fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, less than 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 10 milligrams of sodium, twenty grams of carbohydrates, less than 1 gram of dietary fiber, 18 grams of sugar (including 17 grams of added sugars), and less than 1 gram of sugar.)<\/small><\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.19 These Cookies & Screeem M&M\u2019s exemplify a trend I have been noticing in the last few years.
