It boils down to what these chocolate candies are supposed to taste like &#8212; a crunchy cookie. That can also be expanded to their texture. Thanks to a thinner chocolate layer, they have a crunch that can be described as more like a cookie than candy-coated M&#038;M&#8217;s, and I like 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\/2022\/02\/crucookmms2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Crunchy Cookie M M s Layers\" title=\"crucookmms2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sadly, that crunch doesn&#8217;t come from an actual cookie core embedded in the center of each piece. It&#8217;s a rice crisp, which our teeth have chomped on over the years. I guess when it comes to solid ingredients, M&#038;M&#8217;s stuffing technology hasn&#8217;t improved beyond rice crisps, pretzels, and peanuts. Does Mars even have the Sixlets to add cookie nuggets to the center of M&#038;M&#8217;s? <\/p>\n<p>But the food manufacturing folks there should figure it out because if they added a cookie nugget, these would probably have a cookie&#8217;s flavor, which these Crunchy Cookie M&#038;M&#8217;s lack. There were moments when I thought I got a bit of an artificial brown sugar-like flavor, but for the most part, these taste like less chocolatey Crispy M&#038;M&#8217;s.<\/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\/2022\/02\/crucookmms3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Crunchy Cookie M M s Core\" title=\"crucookmms3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Maybe there isn&#8217;t a strong cookie flavor because the chocolate mantle beneath the colorful candy crust is so thin. I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;s where the flavor is supposed to come from because it&#8217;s not the rice crisp core. I pulled one out from the candy, and it has a flavor that I wouldn&#8217;t consider cookie-like. Instead, it tastes (and looks) like a tanned piece of Kix cereal. This parent does not approve.<\/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\/2022\/02\/crucookmms4.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Crunchy Cookie M M s Inside\" title=\"crucookmms4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Look, I enjoy Crispy M&#038;M&#8217;s, so much so that years ago I probably signed an online petition to bring them back.
