Well, these flavours are new to me, anyway. I haven't seen them in Canada, and only recently saw them down here:
As a public service, I purchased a package of each in order to review them for my readers. You can see I am very keen about my work; both packages were already opened before the photography session could commence.
Cherry Cordial: This is a larger and more irregular in size M&M, similar to the peanut butter ones in size and variation. However, unlike peanut butter, there is no special centre, the chocolate itself is flavoured. Colours are two shades of red. I really like this one! Very cherry like, similar in flavour to a mid-priced chocolate covered cherry. This one gets two thumbs up (bear in mind, both thumbs belong to the same reviewer.)
Mint Chocolate: This one is also a larger and irregular sized M&M. Colours are red, white and green. The chocolate is flavoured mint, there is no mint centre. I liked this one, but it didn't blow me away. I'm not sure why- it's pleasantly minty, and chocolaty too. Still, I have to go with my overall impression and give it one thumb.
And in case you haven't been following the recent developments in M&Ms as closely as I have, I also tried last spring...
Pretzel M&Ms: These are quite tolerable, but nothing to write home about. I prefer a chocolate covered pretzel, and I find these huge- too many calories in each one for the amount of satisifaction received. No thumbs up for this one, but still, if there was nothing else available I'd probably devour a limited quantity.
Strawberried Peanut Butter: This was a special 2009 flavour that was associated with a movie. I tried them in early 2010 when they off-loaded them at the dollar store. It was OK, but I preferred the regular Peanut Butter M&M, which I had only recently discovered. No thumbs for this one either, as peanut butter is better.

I think I'd like the cherry flavour too!
ReplyDeleteThe cherry ones do sound good - we'll see what interesting varieties we can find up here. Last week I tried "candy cane bark" white chocolate kiss candies and they were quite good - maybe one and a half thumbs up. I'm sure they're old hat down south though.
