I'm a big fan of M&Ms. They're just so perfectly, evilly addictive. Just the right sweetness and just the right crunch factor. I mean, seriously. There's a good reason why these are so damn popular.
One of my favourite things about M&Ms is that they regularly offer new, limited edition flavours (but no peanut butter in Australia yet. Seriously, what is up with that??) to reward snackers everywhere.
While it's not exactly new (sorry), the most recent flavour to hit Aussie shelves is Raspberry.
I'm not a 'pink' girl, but even I have to admit that a packet of M&Ms in various shades of pink, red and white is kind of adorable. It would certainly make the ideal choice for a Valentine's date.
These little guys don't have any kind of special filling, rather the raspberry flavour is in the chocolate filling itself. And it's a pretty good flavour as well. The raspberry candy flavour is distinct, but well balanced with the chocolate. It lends sweetness without being sugary, if that makes sense.
My usual go-to flavour with M&Ms is peanut (despite the odd dodgy peanut), but I have returned to these since first reviewing them. Definitely worth a whirl.
