Is it just me or is M&M’s killing it with their new flavors lately?
From “Mexican Jalapeno Peanut” to “Coffee Nut” to (my favorite) “Dark Chocolate Mint” they’re on fire right now.

And their latest release is a dream come true for all us who go nutty for Nutella.
I mean, what took so long?
Nutella may have lost its “healthy breakfast” luster — for good reason — but that doesn’t mean it’s not a damn tasty treat.
It’s hard to go wrong with chocolate and hazelnuts.
And if you love Nutella, you LOVE Nutella.
Of course, the new M&M’s aren’t technically Nutella flavored. They’re “hazelnut spread” flavored, but we’re not being fooled.
Ferrero obviously just didn’t want to allow M&M’s to use their trademark.
Which feels pretty closed-minded to me.
Like, Mars Inc. would probably pay a bunch of money in licensing fees, but perhaps they believe their flavor is amazing enough to not need the Nutella brand name plastered across the package.
The new candies are filled with a chocolate hazelnut spread surrounded by classic M&M’s chocolate and candy shell.
Sounds pretty damn good to me, generic naming convention aside. I know I’d have trouble keeping any sort of self control if you placed a package in front of me right now.
But can we take a second to talk about the blue M&M on the package?
Is it just me or is he daring you to lick that spoon? Like, there’s something sultry about his lidded eyes and raised brow. I find it very unnerving…
