I recently purchased a bag of the NEW Happy Holidays Caramel M&M’s. About a year and half ago M&M’s did offer a caramel flavor M&M’s. These Happy Holiday M&M’s do seem to differ.
Here’s the May 2017 Caramel M&M’s Large (for M&M’s) slightly irregular shapes in colors of yellow, orange, red, green, blue and brown. I remember these M&M’s were unusually chewy.
The Happy Holiday M&M’s smell different.
I open the bag and take a whiff…..They smell like chocolate mixed with sour cream….
I pour some out.
The finish is different. Not the smooth polished shell that M&M’s normally have. Instead the shell is rough. The colors are red and green but in a rough finish.
These Happy Holidays Caramel M&M’s have a rough shell that taste similar to most other M&M’s. The Chocolate is a same familiar M&M’s Chocolate that most of us enjoy……………..these caramel centers aren’t as chewy as the caramel ones I tried in May 2017. The caramel is a softer caramel but it has a sour finish. After a few of them the sour taste builds and my throat hurts.
Maybe I got a defective bag?
I’m not eating the rest.
