I love M&M's from the US, they have such brilliant flavours compared to the ones available in the UK. Even on a recent trip to the M&M World store in Leicester Square, London (the largest candy store in the world), I was disappointed to find that there were only the basic three flavours of M&M's available - milk chocolate, peanut and crispy! Thankfully the more exotic American flavours are available from import shops online. I recently placed an order with the fantastic Monster Sweets who kindly sent me these Mint M&M's. I've reviewed these briefly once before in the very early days of my blog, as part of a M&M's Mega Post HERE (apologies for the terrible photos!).
This is mainly an excuse to post better photos, because my thoughts on the flavour are still the same! I love the fact that these Mint M&M's are all various shades of green, it all looks so pretty. The flavour is exactly what you would want from a mint M&M - they're very sweet and minty but with a refreshing kick. The chocolate centre is described as a "dark chocolate" but it doesn't have the intense flavour of a dark chocolate. If you're a fan of mint chocolate then you need to try these!
Monster Sweets kindly sent me this product for an honest review but all views expressed are my own.

Yeah I find it a shame that M&M World don't supply the exotic American flavours we crave for... I want to try this one now!
ReplyDeleteM&M World definitely needs to get more flavours - different colours is not the same thing!
DeleteThese are so good. I also love the mint Hersheys kisses -something else not distributed over here. What is the matter with these sweet companies?! We Brits need our minty choc fix!
ReplyDeleteNever tried mint Hersheys kisses before - thanks for the recommedation! Will have to hunt those down :)
DeleteI've tried these and they are so, so nice. They remind me of After Eight but without the creme and in a crunchy form. Very addictive!
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting you guys still have crispy M&Ms. In America they were discontinued...I think they were replaced by Pretzel.
