\"M&M's<\/p>\n

M&M\u2019s are one of those candies that consistently pump out different varieties, and the new Bakery Collection features three flavors inspired by baked goods. We\u2019re encouraged to scan a QR code and vote for our favorite from the following contenders: Lemon Meringue Pie, Chocolate Cherry Cupcake, and Peanut Butter Cinnamon Roll. I found these at Walgreens and heard more than one employee remark that they weren\u2019t particularly interested in trying any of them.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s somewhat incomprehensible to me that anyone wouldn\u2019t want to try a new snack, even if it sounds terrible (yeah, I bought those Swedish Fish Oreos), but I kind of have to agree – none of these really excite me. They exist, though, and that\u2019s enough for me to fork over seven dollars and hope I\u2019m not left mumbling curses through a mouthful of Lemon Pledge-flavored morsels.<\/p>\n

Lemon Meringue Pie<\/h3>\n

\"M&M's<\/p>\n

Lemon Meringue Pie M&M\u2019s are a white chocolate variety, about the size of a regular M&M but rounder due to a crispy rice center. The yellow, white, and peach-colored candies have a light lemon scent and a lemon flavor that I don\u2019t find akin to a cleaning product, but I also can\u2019t say I enjoy. The color scheme does better at imitating its inspiration than the taste and texture do. Perhaps fans of Crispy M&M\u2019s will enjoy these, but crunch doesn\u2019t align with lemon meringue pie in my mind, and I wish the center were some sort of tart lemony cream or jam instead.<\/p>\n

\"M&M's<\/p>\n

At my wedding, I had a bunch of candy jars that I waited until the last minute to fill (who knew you were supposed to prepare for events like that in advance?), and in my haste, I ended up throwing some Lemonheads in the same jar as some chocolate Sixlets. Later that night, my very honest friend Chris informed me that this was a terrible combination, and I explained I hadn\u2019t intended them to be eaten together. These M&M\u2019s are what I think that combo must have tasted like. I\u2019m sure some people will enjoy the lemon and crunch, but I want nothing to do with them. Chris, stay away from these.<\/p>\n

Size:<\/strong> 3.22 oz bag
\nRating:<\/strong> 4 out of 10
\nNutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1\/3 pack) 150 calories, 7 grams of total fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, less than 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 50 milligrams of sodium, 22 grams of total carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 18 grams of total sugars, and 1 gram of protein.<\/p>\n

Chocolate Cherry Cupcake<\/h3>\n

\"M&M's<\/p>\n

Chocolate Cherry Cupcake pieces are a thicker size, so you\u2019d expect something in the center, but they\u2019re pure chocolate. This seems like a missed opportunity because the inclusion of a tiny cake bit or something that mimicked it (not crispy rice!) could justify the cupcake moniker. The good thing is that the interior features a smooth combination of milk and dark chocolate, and the deeper notes of the dark chocolate are incredibly welcome.<\/p>\n

These have a syrupy cherry flavor, more like a cherry cordial than anything else. There\u2019s been a Cherry Cordial M&M before, but it lacked dark chocolate, and if we can just consider this iteration an upgrade on that, I\u2019m alright with it.<\/p>\n

Size:<\/strong> 2.47 oz bag
\nRating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10
\nNutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1\/2 pack) 170 calories, 8 grams of total fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, less than 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 15 milligrams of sodium, 25 grams of total carbohydrates, 1 gram of dietary fiber, 22 grams of total sugars, and 1 gram of protein.<\/p>\n

Peanut Butter Cinnamon Roll<\/h3>\n

\"M&M's<\/p>\n

Lastly we have Peanut Butter Cinnamon Roll. While this treat isn\u2019t commonplace in any bakery I\u2019ve ever been to, I have called Peanut Butter M&M\u2019s my favorite since their debut, so these hold some promise. The basic size and structure here is right on; they look like the candy I know and love. For a brief moment, or perhaps if you\u2019ve never had the original peanut butter before, you could bite down on these and be pleased with the perfect ratio of candy coating, milk chocolate, and creamy peanut butter center. But then the cinnamon creeps in. It\u2019s not a hot cinnamon, and there\u2019s nothing really wrong with it except that the original product was somehow much better without it.<\/p>\n

\"M&M's<\/p>\n

If we\u2019re trying to make a cinnamon roll M&M, I\u2019m not sure why we skipped a cream cheese frosting element and went straight to peanut butter. Instead of pulling something fresh from the oven, they\u2019ve just corrupted a perfectly good batch of peanut butter M&M\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Size:<\/strong> 2.83 oz bag
\nRating:<\/strong> 6 out of 10
\nNutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1\/3 pack) 140 calories, 8 grams of total fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 55 milligrams of sodium, 15 grams of total carbohydrates, 1 gram of dietary fiber, 13 grams of total sugars, and 3 grams of protein.<\/p>\n

When you throw this many candy-coated chocolate pebbles at the wall, there are bound to be some that just don\u2019t stick. Unfortunately, all three flavors from the Bakery Collection fell into this category for me. The winner of the fan vote gets to stay on shelves, but I wouldn\u2019t be upset if all of these disappeared.<\/p>\n
