Mint Chocolate M&Ms
I haven’t had these in years, as I used to find them to be dangerously addictive and for the past few years I’ve tried to concentrate on candies that were new to me. But this year I was happy to hear that they were back and thought it was high time that I had some again and of course document there here so fans could squee with delight. (Also, they were on sale, so I bought this bag and a bag of the Holiday Mix Almond M&Ms, which I ate in two days.)
The lentils come in three colors: White, Green and Red. I pulled out a few regular M&Ms as a comparison (on the left) for the photo because I thought the green and red were actually a different shade. And so they are! It’s tempting to think that these are just minted Milk Chocolate M&Ms, but they’re a little different in several ways.
Yeah, they’re really good. I love mint & chocolate and though the milk chocolate of M&Ms isn’t spectacular, it’s certainly fun to put away. Related Candies

Mmmmm, these sound good
Somewhere, there is a junkie version of me, sitting behind a dumpster, surrounded by the wrappers from these and Girl Scout Thin Mints, passed out from a sugar rush gone bad. I love these.
I think these are my favorite commercial Christmas candy. I’m stil not sure if I prefer the current beefed up version with larger pieces and thicker shell or the original “holidays” version that were the same size as the regular m&m;‘s with the smooth shell. I like how they are now but am sometimes nostalgic for the old ones.
We have these all year round in Australia, we have the xmas wrappered version at xmas, but during the year they are in a different bag but the same thing except they are green in colour. They are one of my favourites!
They used to have these at Easter and I’m glad to hear they’re available again. Will go out and hunt some down!
You’ve got a mint theme going! I could definitely put a bunch of these away.
Are these the Christmas-colored version of the “Indiana Jones” M&M;‘s from earlier this year? If so, I’m on my way to the store for a few bags! I love M&M;‘s and I LOVED the mint crisp ones.
I’m a sucker for anything minty and chocolatey my favorite combination.
Mmmm I’ll have to pick up a bag of these
I love mint M&Ms;, but I’m curious about the size change. They seem so bumpy and lumpy now. And I’m scared the thicker shell is going to break my teeth - it’s really hard!
My first baby went on a nursing strike when I initially discovered these (and overindulged) (1997). Coincidence? Who knows! But there are no more nurslings in my house, so I can indulge all I want now…
Yumm! These look good. If you like the thicker shell you should try Canadian Smarties (made by Nestle). They are basically big m&ms;with a thick shell.
These are my favorite M&M;‘s by far! They actually come in Peppermint as well…this maybe a special Wal-Mart deal because I think that is where I found those. Anyway, I found them 2 Christmas’s ago and try to buy them up whenever they are on sale during the holidays. I freeze them and had them last for about 6 months last year before I ran out of them. I like to melt them in the microwave as well. The thick shell keeps them from getting too messy. Yum, yum!
MINT M&Ms;:For last 6-8 yrs hav gone round 2 all the stores day after xmas 2 buy up 20-35 bags of the holiday MINT M&Ms;hopefully 2 last all yr,usually didnt. They r so good slowly melting in Ur mouth,especially w/very dry crisp champagne! But last yr they were a little bigger & just werent quite as pleasant so bought some but not a lot. This yr, was hoping size was back to normal, but..So disappointing.. these HUGE UGLY M&MS;W/THE HARD HARD SHELL THAT BREAKS OFF THE CHOC & STAYS N BIG PIECES N UR MOUTH -JUST GROSS! DID ANYONE @ MARS NOTICE: THEY DONT MELT IN YOUR MOUTH!!!!
THEY HAVE 2B CHOMPED!
These will b easy to pass on.
Pattie,
I think I might agree with you. I went on a hunt for these yesterday because a couple of years ago I bought some at Target and got addicted. After trying almost every drug store in NYC, I finally found one that stil had a few bags left. I was really excited, but I don’t think I like these new ones as much. One of the things I like about M&Ms;is their small size, so you can make a little go a long way. But I think I ate like 1/3 of the bag yesterday w/o realizing it, just by tasting them. And did anyone notice that f you bite the shell off, an even coat of chocolate comes with it? Like it was made in layers or something. Anyways, I think I miss the old ones as well. But I’ll give ‘em another try…I did buy a few bags, after all.
I had these mint chocolate m&m;‘s for the first time this year. i was sorry to hear that they do not have these all year. They are great tasting and refreshing. I am not a candy eater butI love these.
please make these available at least for all the holidays.
Where can I find more of these? I bought the last bag at a Fred Meyer store and have become addicted to them. These are the best!
I bought these/saw these for the first time around Christmas and loved them. I find no fault with their size, not melting in your mouth, etc. My only complaint is they’re not available all year. I spent so much time looking from one store to another to no avail. Would it be possible to make them available by mail order through out the year?
“We have these all year round in Australia”...
I’m so jealous! These mint m&ms; are AWESOME! I wish they were available here all the time or at least at ALL the holidays. It would not matter to me if they were various sizes and/or colors, with thicker shells or the regular shells. My craving would be satisfied either way… just make them available!!!
= ) please?
I’ve tried the new soft coated mint m&m’s and although my husband loves these I really, really want the hard coated mint m&m’s.
