And yes it&#8217;s a riff on Nutella which is synonymous with hazelnut spread in most people\u2019s minds. Look at the container on the package that Blue is holding! A clear jar. Verrrrrry interesting. Basically, these are bootleg Nutella M&#038;M&#8217;s. <\/p>\n<h3>How are they?<\/h3>\n<p>These were announced way back in September which means a long time to get excited and build your anticipation for them. So how did they do? At first glance, they&#8217;re larger than standard M&#038;M&#8217;s and breaking one opens reveals its two-toned interior. There&#8217;s the obvious chocolate layer and then the inner hazelnut portion, which is surprisingly light almost like a cookie butter color. It did seem to have speckles (maybe chocolate?) throughout though.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Hazelnut-Spread-MMs-Closeup.jpg?resize=599%2C449&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hazelnut Spread M M s Closeup\" title=\"Hazelnut Spread M&#038;M's Closeup.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"449\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Initially, they were disappointing because they tasted like regular M&#038;M&#8217;s. However, as I ate more, the hazelnut flavor came through. They were sufficiently nutty! I can\u2019t mention Nutella as much as I have without putting the real thing to the test, so I grabbed a jar from my cupboard and dug in to compare. <\/p>\n<p>It dawned on me instantly what these really are. They aren\u2019t fake Nutella M&#038;M&#8217;s or even Hazelnut Spread ones; they&#8217;re just Hazelnut M&#038;M&#8217;s. What\u2019s a more accurate comparison? They&#8217;re unlicensed Ferrero Rocher in a different form. While Nutella is insanely creamy with the chocolate and hazelnut as one, these aren\u2019t creamy in the slightest. Also, chewing the crunchy shell along with the unmarried chocolate and hazelnut components evoke that gold wrapped confection way more than Nutella spread.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>These aren\u2019t the first hazelnut M&#038;M&#8217;s to come to market as the UK got a version way back in 2017 although it looks like those contained actual hazelnuts instead of the mixture inside these.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>These are a pretty good new take on M&#038;M&#8217;s, which makes you wonder why it hasn\u2019t been done before. Just don\u2019t go in expecting the next coming of Nutella in a new portable form. These are more like smaller, cheaper Ferrero Rocher. If you like those, you\u2019ll have no problem finishing a bag of these as quickly as I did. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> 99 cents<br \/>?<strong>Size:<\/strong> 1.35 oz. bag<br \/>?<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Wegmans<br \/>?<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 8 out of 10<br \/>?<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 Bag) 190 calories, 10 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, less than 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 40 milligrams of sodium, 24 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of dietary fiber, 22 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are Hazelnut Spread M&#038;M&#8217;s?
