Cookies & Screeem<\/a> of yesteryear, but these Creepy Cocoa Crisp are a decided improvement. I like dark chocolate M&M’s, but they\u2019re even better with the crispy texture! My family members who don\u2019t much care for the Crispy variety enjoyed these.<\/p>\nMy only disappointment is that it\u2019s hard to taste the cocoa element in the crisp part (which is the same color as the chocolate). The dark chocolate overpowers it. But that\u2019s a minor quibble, because they\u2019re still wonderful. This is a simple concept, but it works very well.<\/p>\n
Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n
![\"Creepy](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Creepy-Cocoa-Crisp-MMs-Red-MMcula.jpg?resize=600%2C600&ssl=1\" "\\"Creepy")
<\/p>\n
With the package portraying the Red M&M holding a bowl of chocolate cereal while wearing a vampire costume, it seems obvious Mars is channeling Count Chocula. But that cereal is made of corn, whereas the M&M crispy parts are made of rice flour. I appreciate the creativity \u2014- it\u2019s not predictable, but it still has a seasonal connection.<\/p>\n
Conclusion:<\/h3>\n
The colors, flavor, and texture combine to make this limited-edition flavor a winner. Since Red is dressed as a vampire, I imagine repurposing a line from The Munsters to tell him how I feel about this candy:<\/p>\n
Me: \u201cI really dig you!\u201d<\/p>\n
Red: \u201cAnd someday I\u2019ll return the favor!\u201d<\/p>\n
