Strawberried Peanut Butter M&Ms

Tuesday, May 19, 2009

M&Ms is starting to think like Wonka, and his Everlasting Gobstoppers, or even jawbreakers - pack as many flavors into a tiny ball as possible. Strawberried Peanut Butter M&Ms won't present you with a 3 course meal, but they do taste pretty good.

Strawberried Peanut Butter M&Ms

I love peanut butter M&M's. I don't eat a lot of candy, but when it's got peanut butter in it, it's a totally different story. I don't really know the specifics, but whomever skipped straight over the peanut and just added peanut butter inside these melt in your mouth, not in your hand goodies may well be the best person ever. Unfortunately, it's seemingly impossible to find those coveted Orange bags in most M&M carrying storefronts. I don't want a whole peanut inside, and definitely don't want plain chocolate, so gas stations please, step it up.

But let me introduce the newest variation of the god-like M&M: Strawberried Peanut Butter. Yes, strawberried, which doesn't roll off the tongue well, but I assume it's the past tense form of the fruit addition. This flavor has been chosen to promote Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The only thing that scraped away with any Bay-isms is the flashy silver packaging and the newest choice of mascots - half orange M&Ms, and half transformers, called "The Twins". Which either sounds like a failed government human soldier product, or a canned Bay film. Either way, if you're into that sort of thing there are seven different bags you can collect.

The candies themselves only came in red and brown in my bag, even though the website says differently. Feel free to let me know via comments if you've gotten the correct colors. Fundamentally, it's a peanut butter M&M. For you people seriously missing out, imagine smooth chocolate, in lightly salted, creamy peanut butter wrapped up in an M&M. The twist in this is the M. Night Strawberry, a light hint of Nestle style strawberry milk flavoring, wIth the light salt flavor in the peanut butter blending it all together very nicely. Peanut butter and jelly go so well together I don't even have to mention it and when you mix that with with chocolate, how could you go wrong? That's just about the exact taste that they've pulled together, and I for one am more than happy for this variation on my favorite candy. Almost a perfect score, but they're still not as good as the regular peanut butter ones. I just wish I could figure out why they only make such awesome things for a limited time only.
