From The TESR Test Kitchen

M&Ms are chocolate candies with a hard candy coating and they've been around since 1941. They've been around long enough to have had the brand tinkered with.  The last two years alone have seen the release of M&M White Chocolate Candy Corn, M&M Cinnamon Milk Chocolate, M&M Pretzels, M&M Raspberry and M&M Mint.

It's the last one we're interested in today.


We like M&Ms.  For some of us, it is the favored candy.  We also like mint.  We like the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies and we like Chocolate Mint ice cream as well as Peppermint.  So we had high hopes for this flavor.

However, the candy company didn't quite pull it off.  It's a minty taste that tends to remind some of us of Scope and others of menthol cigarettes.


What it doesn't bring to mind is the need to taste them again.  Ever.
