I haven’t bought a bag of plain M&M’s in a long time until today…..I tried a few and instantly I noticed a difference………They don’t feel or taste the same in my mouth……..I know they are smaller…….I noticed less chocolate when I suck the shells off. Also the ratio is different………Less chocolate makes them seem more sweet and less chocolatey. Then I let my husband try some. He said, “are these the tiny ones?”…..WTFork! Then I went to the internet and found this from wwwFasioncoached.com.
I also found this.
In May 2014 I noticed a few changes in Peanut M&M’s and so far 16 wrote to me and agreed.
This is my May 2014 photo of Peanut M&M’s (above and below)
I happened to pick of some peanut M&M’s recently. Let’s see if they are similar to the 2014 ones. (the photo below)
You know…I think they are even slightly smaller than before……
My local stores Walmart and Safeway grocery have exploded with all these New and Different Reese’s products. I’m a fan of original Reese’s so I thought I’d give them a try.
Honestly it’s kinda hard to tell how they are. They are similar to the regular original Reese’s Cup but sort of melted. The chocolate and peanut butter are both much softer. Maybe slightly less flavorful….They are harder to enjoy because they are too soft. Maybe they’d be good with ice cream? I prefer the original to this creamy version. I would not buy them again.
Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Reese’s Creamy. I do note that your FORKING Thoughts may indeed differ.
I came across Milk Chocolate Honey Graham M&M’s at my local Fry’s Supermarket today so I thought I’d give them a try.
I glance at the ingredients and nothing seems too terrible.
Next I take a big sniff from the open bag…..It smells like chocolate. I’m thinking….maybe they might be good?….
Then I spill some out.
The M&M’s are extra small and all of them are deformed in shape. They almost look like current sized but wrinkly like raisins.
If they are good there is no way in the world that this is a serving.
Anyways I give them a try.
They are sweet. Maybe too sweet for some adults. The sweet is something like a honey taste. You also get a savory taste………it’s closer to cereal mixed with malt than a graham taste that is also mixed with a little bit of chocolaty taste.
If you let them melt in your mouth you get different flavors. The candy shell is the normal sweet candy shell that you expect……Then you do get a honey sort of taste that mixes and dilutes the chocolate taste. Then you are left with small cereal nuggets….
They are better if you just eat them.
It’s too hard ti eat just one serving.
For me they don’t really taste like honey graham but I do like the light texture and flavors that they have. I think that these Honey Graham M&M’s would be best as a Sundae topping.
Those were my FORKING thoughts on Honey Graham M&M’s. I do note that your Forking thoughts may indeed differ.
When I see a new M&M’s I usually just have to give them a try. I found these White Chocolate M&M’s Snowballs at my local Safeway….I wasn’t sure if I was going to try them because one of the last white chocolate M&M’s that I tried I didn’t care for but I picked them up because very few new flavors of M&M’s came out this year.
I open the bag up.
The M&M’s are in slightly irregular shapes. They are in colors of bright blue, Robbins egg blue and white……
When I take a closer look I see some are marked “N” instead of “M”…?
These are really different. They have a perfect salty to sweet ratio. I taste the pretzel slightly more than the chocolate or candy. Actually they are pretty good with a really nice textures. The pretzel in them is very light but crunchy with pieces of salt on them. The white chocolate is not too sweet and it’s melty and not waxy. The shell gives it some sweetness and a nice crunch. They seem so light that they are easy to eat….Maybe too easy to eat? ……….These are too easy to keep eating.
My FORKING Thoughts are that the White Chocolate Pretzel Snowball M&M’s are pretty good!

I spotted this White Chocolate Lemon Meringue Bar at my local AJ’s Fine Foods and I had to try it.
I open it up carefully. I attempted to break off one brick….That didn’t work.
These bars have lots of filling and the white chocolate is very delicate and almost soft.
I taste the broken ends. The lemony part is really great and sure does taste like really good lemon meringue filling…Like the right tart and the right sweet……the right amount of lemon……….The white chocolate is pretty good for white chocolate but it does end with a sweet finish like it should like some meringue. (I hate when meringue taste like egg whites…ick)
I think that this flavor is pretty good but they’ve forgotten that lemon meringue is a pie and should have some crumbs for crust. A few slightly salted cookie crumbs on the bottom would have balanced it all really well………But it is still pretty good anyway.
Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Hammond’s Lemon Meringue White Chocolate Bar. Your FORKING Thoughts may indeed differ.
The Reese’s Big Cup with potato chips have been out for a while but today I finally broke down and tried one.
I open it up.
Mine is slightly defective. I don’t want to know what it’s been though.
I cut it in half.
Lets take a closer look.
At first I thought that they left out the chips but I can see some in there……..
I start on the end.
Wow…that is a good amount of Reese’s chocolate….I never had that much before….I kinda like that……..
Now for a bite into the peanut butter. The peanut butter taste good like it normally does….but……
Not what I was expecting…
SUPER CRISP CRUNCHY HARD small pieces of wavy or ridged potato chips that are tasteless but so crunchy that they seem like coated with something like ceramic. I have no idea how they sucked out all the flavor from the chips? I also have no idea how they got them so oddly hard like ceramic. I was almost worried that I could damage my teeth.
I pulled one out of my mouth.
They’re not bad…….I think the best part is the thick chocolate that you wouldn’t normally get with a Reese’s…..For a Big Cup they really aren’t so big and are less than 200 calories (180 to be exact). If you don’t mind super hard crunches in your Reese’s cup they are pretty good…..but the chips are strange and for me too crunchy……..I was afraid I’d damage a filling or chip a tooth. I will go chipless next time.
Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Reese’s Potato Chips Big Cup. Your FORKING Thoughts on Reese’s Potato Chips Big Cup may indeed differ.
My husband came across these Crunchy Cookie M&M’s and knew that I would want to try them…and he sure was right I do want to try them.
I wasn’t expecting much because in the corner it reads artificially flavored….BAH!
Well I try them anyway….
They are a weird size for M&M’s.
They are extra tiny.
I eat a few……They don’t taste like cookies….but they seem light and crunchy. They are feel like malt balls in the mouth…but they don’t taste like malt balls……
Not a lot of chocolate here…….They have less chocolate than malt balls.
They’re not bad……..and are easy to eat….They have nice textures to them……a pleasant nice light crunch. They are too light textured to be a cookie inside…….Maybe they are closer to a breakfast cereal type of crunch? They don’t taste bad. Just not a cookie taste.
Not bad.
Not as good as the original or my favorite the almond M&M’s.
That was my FORKING Thoughts on Crunchy Cookie M&M’s.

I came across these NEW Russell Stover sugar free peanut butter chocolate bars at my local Safeway grocery store. I didn’t even read the package but I thought the chocolate bar looked very appetizing in the picture. LOOK at all that peanut butter in the picture below. It looks so scrumptious!
I normally would never buy this brand of chocolate because I used to not like it but I thought this must be a new recipe because it looks so delicious on the package. Then when I got it home we cracked it open and ate two of the sections of the chocolate bar.
It really isn’t bad for sugar free chocolate. It melts in the mouth and can pass as sweetened with sugar…..but……….
…..Where The FORK is the Peanut Butter?
Joy Bites?
More like remove the “J” and you get OY bites. In addition to NO SUGAR added there is NO PEANUT BUTTER ADDED.
I contacted Russell Stover on Facebook and Instagram on this matter and got nothing from them…..Just like the same amount of no peanut butter that I didn’t get from them.
Where the FORK is the peanut butter in Joy Bites?
Remove the “J” from Joy Bites and you are left with oy bites.
A long time ago in a land far far away someone invented candy sticks to make kids shut the FORK up for when they were in church. It was also written that someone from Germany got the idea to put a little religion into the candy sticks by adding on a Shepard’s hook shape to the candy.
Some time has passed….and someone got the idea to add hyssop flavoring to the candy because hyssop was used in the Old Testament for purification and sacrifice. Maybe nobody wanted child sacrifice on their hands so they stopped adding hyssop flavor. But maybe the real reason that they stopped adding hyssop is because they found that mint flavoring was cheaper (and tasted better).
Next change was that they added The White Stripes.
Or was it the Red Stripes symbolizing the blood of Christ?
Maybe you have noticed that many candy canes still have stripes but are no longer are mint flavored?
Pizza FlavoredKale FlavoredMac & Cheese flavoredWarhead, Swedish Fish, Smarties flavored Life Savers, OREO, Dum Dum flavored Bacon flavoredRotisserie Chicken flavoredPickle flavored Coal flavored “It doesn’t FORKING matter how the candy cane is flavored. When the kid eats it they will shut the FORK up”.
That was Some FORKING Thoughts on The Christmas Candy Cane.
Wishing you and yours a Merry and Safe Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!
Universal Yums is a gift or subscription service for a box of international snacks. You have a few different size choices.
I get the basic Yum Box and it comes with a booklet of facts, trivia, a recipe and information about my snacks.
Lets try a snack.
Ummmm…Now these are tasty! They are little cookies filled with a chocolaty filling that is laced with a small amount of hazelnut and tahini. These are tasty…Now they are gone.
We got a Yum bag with Mastic Toffees and Melon and Lime Chews.
Oh joy……..(not really)…Turkish sour watermelon gummies. I just don’t do gummies and ESPECIALLY Don’t FORKING do sour gummies. But I will ask my husband to eat one.
Next is a coconut & coffee snowball cake.
I like coconut but never liked coffee so far. I thought maybe I haven’t had good coffee yet and that is why I don’t like coffee? I tried two bites. I think I would like this if I liked coffee. The cake is moist with a nice texture and the exterior is very unique. The center cream isn’t terrible. I would like this if I liked coffee, Coffee just taste like bitter coffee grinds to me……
Next……
Baharat spiced cracker chips in taco flavor…??? They are odd to us….They are very powdery chippy crackers……..The powder texture sort of bothers me more than the odd flavors….They are very salty, they are onion-ee, there is sweetness to them, They finish very sweet….They sort of stick to my teeth.
Only two treats left….
Here’s tahini halva…..Not bad…It seems like light fluffy frosting that taste like sesame seeds instead of something too sweet.
Last treat
These are just plain chickpeas that are salted. These are GOOD! The texture doesn’t break my teeth like most bagged chickpea snacks. These you can actually eat in salad and do have a nice natural chickpea flavor. These I would buy if I saw in the store.
Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Universal Yums – Turkey 2021
