sheldman Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Unless I am crazy (which is possible), there was a thread a while back about people looking for coconut m & m s. My wife just returned from Walgreens at 22nd and M with pretzel m & m s (yum) and coconut ones as well (yum also). Maybe they are everywhere. If so, feel free to delete this silly post.

ktmoomau Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 How big were the pretzel M&Ms? Did they have a good crunch? I am slightly interested/slightly appalled by the notion of pretzel M&Ms enough I might actually buy some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leleboo Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 How big were the pretzel M&Ms? Did they have a good crunch? I am slightly interested/slightly appalled by the notion of pretzel M&Ms enough I might actually buy some. I think they're small (regular-sized, not peanut- or almond-M&M sized) from what I've seen, and they appear to be being marketed (at least in some places) as a 150-calorie healthy snack. Also, I cannot for the life of me find, or recall having seen, an entire thread about coconut M&Ms; nor do I find a reference in the candy or chocolate threads. I'm still looking, though... ETA found one on CH from last fall...yes, I'm this research-oriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mame11 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I curse M&M/Mars for unleashing the M&M Pretzel on the world. Yeah, it's a low calorie snack if you don't mind that a portion is 11-15 little pieces of candy. It's a highly addictive snack that you can pop in your mouth when you crave either salty or sweet and be satisfied. They are about the size of the old m&m crunch.

Escoffier Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 How big were the pretzel M&Ms? Did they have a good crunch? I am slightly interested/slightly appalled by the notion of pretzel M&Ms enough I might actually buy some. I had some of those a couple of weeks ago and thought (until I saw the package) that I was eating something similar to Malted Milk Balls. I didn't detect any discernible saltiness to counter the sweetness at all. Actually, I didn't find them as satisfying as regular M&M's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synaesthesia Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 They're somewhere in between peanut and regular-sized balls. There's something I find a little off about them. Not quite salty enough and I think not quite enough chocolate. You would probably expect them to taste like chocolate covered pretzels, but they taste closer to candy-coated pretzels with a teensy hint of chocolate. What I really miss are the Mint Crispy M&Ms. The coconut ones taste quite coconutty, despite not having any actual coconut or sadly any coconut bits.

SHE FOUND COCONUT M & Ms? I have looked at every CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Target, and grocery store in several states for months. I thought they were a dream.

goldenticket Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 And then there are the dark chocolate M&Ms (which I think I heard about from NuttyBuddy)... quite tasty in the peanut version. The CVS at Courthouse in Arlington has a pretty extensive flavor selection - I think I saw pretzel there, but not sure about coconut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lola007 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 SHE FOUND COCONUT M & Ms? I have looked at every CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Target, and grocery store in several states for months. I thought they were a dream. I found coconut M&Ms last winter at the CVS at 22nd & M Street. The Van Ness CVS also had them briefly, but discontinued them due to a lack of interest. Anyway, I thought they tasted strange--like plastic or something really artificial. I ended up giving away my supply; that's how bad I thought they were. More recently, I've been enjoying the peanut butter M&Ms. Along with milk chocolate M&Ms, they're my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 They are in my office vending machine at this very moment! Heh. I actually broke down and ordered a box from amazon.com. I like the new pretzel variety, but it is virtually impossible to consume just 11 at a time. I had to hide the bag from myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrichstar Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Have to put out a shout also for the pretzel variety....just tried 'em this week. Really good.....the crunch and the saltiness really lift the tasting experience. Great for a mass marketed brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lekkerwijn Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 What I really miss are the Mint Crispy M&Ms. I have done work with the Mars company for nearly two years and every chance I get I lobby for the return of the Crispy M&Ms. Evidently they weren't big sellers. But clearly now they are experimenting with new varieties of novelty flavors so maybe they will try a reintroduction of the Crispy variety- mint or regular.

goodeats Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) M&M holiday bags were on sale at Target for $2.02 per 9.9-10.5oz bag. Included a holiday cherry cordial one, in addition to the pretzel, peanut, pb, almond and plain ones set out. Eta: After buying a big bag of pretzeled ones, I will be in the minority and say that I don't get it. By now, I am sucking the chocolate parts around the pretzel nugget so the bag doesn't go to waste. Edited January 11, 2011 by goodeats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not crispy, but I saw (and eagerly consumed) a pack of Mint M&Ms today from the CVS on Wilson Blvd in Rosslyn. A quick web search reveals they apparently have been around since 2008(!) but I'd never seen them before today. Taste kind of like soft after-dinner mints, but a little more M&M-y (isn't that helpful?). I thought they were delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought my RiteAid (corner of Chain Bridge and 29/50 in Fairfax) had a good M&M selection, but no crispy or mint to be found They do have coconut and pretzel, though.

DrXmus Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Why ruin a perfect confection by adding mint, pretzel or, gods forbid, coconut! I realize I'm in the minority here, but I'm more of a plain M&M kinda guy. But seriously...coconut!!!???!!!! Gack;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodeats Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 If you have a CVS Extracare card, there is a coupon this week for $1 off 2 packages of the 9.9-10.8oz Easter M&M candies that will print when you scan your card at the red machines in-store. I read that you can use this coupon AND the clipped Sunday ones, saving you $2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidsdc Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'm sort of an M&M purist--don't mess with my milk chocolate. But I gotta say, the coconut ones are really addictive and kind of like a mini-Mounds bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
