M&M’s has taken a fancy new natural approach by kicking the candy coating to the curb in favor of a crunchy baked shell.<\/p>\n

They’re one of the five best M&M flavors I’ve ever had.<\/p>\n
Let me walk that back a little\u2026<\/p>\n
These are clearly different from the usual M&M, but I don’t care; they destroy most of them, especially the classic brown bag originals.<\/p>\n
These are not so much pieces of candy as they’re tiny little chocolate chip cookie balls, and they’re good<\/em> chocolate chip cookies at that.<\/p>\n They start with a chocolate crispy core, which I was already pumped about as Crispy M&M’s are also in my top five. The core is encased in the standard chocolate, but the real marvel here is the shell, which has a perfectly crispy baked flavor that reminded me of a Famous Amos-type cookie.<\/p>\n Now you’re probably thinking, “So what, plenty of cookies use M&M’s,” and you’re right, but I just found this inverse to be much more exciting. I don’t know why, but I really loved the flavor of this bite-sized “candy.” Usually, if M&M’s releases a flavor with the promise of “cookie,” it would taste like an M&M with a hint of that cookie’s flavor. These taste like cookies without even really promising that.<\/p>\n I’ve never actually had Keebler Gripz, but I recall a similar product from my youth. They were just little tiny chocolate chip cookies in a pouch, and my Googling has brought no help. Anyway, that’s what I ultimately walked away thinking of. These taste like an upscale, more chocolatey version of those with a much nicer crunchy texture.<\/p>\n If you can’t tell, I really dug the shell. I even think the colored “M” on the tan shell looks great.<\/p>\n These could be a reinvention of the M&M wheel. I could also picture these being a truly elite ingredient in a great trail\/snack mix.<\/p>\n I hope these expand on shelves and everyone gets to try them. They should really market these. Introduce a “Baked” M&M character to the revamped lineup. Give him little dreads and a goatee. Eh, maybe that’s a literal pipe dream.<\/p>\n Either way, these are legit. They also come in a salted caramel flavor if you’re lucky enough to find them.<\/p>\n UPDATE:<\/strong> By luck, my aunt had the Salted Caramel Munchums at my family’s Easter get-together! It is with great regret that I inform you they taste like a cheap salty caf\u00e9 latte absorbed in a piece of cardboard. I cannot believe the stark difference between the two flavors. Don’t even bother with the Salted Caramel, and just get the Milk Chocolate flavor.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $3.49 What are M&M\u2019s Munchums?
