Is it a thing that people have been doing all this time, and I just didn&#8217;t know about it? The only out of the ordinary thing I&#8217;ve been doing with the candy is blindfolding myself, trying to determine the shell&#8217;s color using only my non-sight senses, and getting it right 100 percent of the time.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, it&#8217;s rare for me to have different M&#038;M&#8217;s varieties in my house at the same time. And if there were, they were probably like ships passing in the night.<\/p>\n<p>But now Mars Chocolates has done the mixing for us with its Classic Mix (Milk Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and Peanut M&#038;M&#8217;s) and Peanut Mix (Milk Chocolate Peanut, Dark Chocolate Peanut, and White Chocolate Peanut M&#038;M&#8217;s). There&#8217;s also an M&#038;M&#8217;s Mystery Eggs Mix for Easter that has Milk Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and Double Chocolate M&#038;M&#8217;s. But I wasn&#8217;t sent that for review.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d think combining these different varieties, whose delight factors vary from good to great, would create something unique. But it&#8217;s not a best of all worlds ordeal.<\/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\/2021\/02\/MMs-Peanut-Mix-Closeup.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"M M s Peanut Mix Closeup\" title=\"M&#038;M's Peanut Mix Closeup.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When I pop any combination of the candies into my mouth, my tongue can&#8217;t determine which M&#038;M&#8217;s is which, especially with the Peanut Mix, which overall tastes like regular Milk Chocolate Peanut M&#038;M&#8217;s. Although, if I happen to stuff my maw with all White Chocolate Peanut M&#038;M&#8217;s, my taste buds notice it.<\/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\/2021\/02\/MMs-Classic-Mix-Closeup.jpeg?resize=600%2C454&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"M M s Classic Mix Closeup\" title=\"M&#038;M's Classic Mix Closeup.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"454\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With the Classic Mix, I can, of course, tell which is the Peanut one, but as a whole, most combinations taste like Peanut M&#038;M&#8217;s. And that&#8217;s a shame because this has my favorite permanent variety &#8212; Peanut Butter. I love the burst of nuttiness and saltiness they have, but it&#8217;s hard to detect when mixed with the other two.<\/p>\n<p>But if you prefer to pick out your M&#038;M&#8217;s individually, it&#8217;s easy to determine which is which with the Classic Mix. The largest ones are Peanut, the smallest ones are Milk Chocolate, and the in-between ones are Peanut Butter. With the Peanut Mix, good luck determining what Peanut M&#038;M&#8217;s flavor you&#8217;re pulling because they all look the same.<\/p>\n<p>I like all these M&#038;M&#8217;s individually, but I don&#8217;t taste anything special when paired with each other. To be honest, I wish it was more like Pringles&#8217; effort to create new flavors by stacking multiple varieties. For example, a cheesecake mix that combines White Chocolate Cheesecake M&#038;M&#8217;s with current and past M&#038;M&#8217;s would&#8217;ve been neato.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received free product samples.
