Dark chocolate M&M's to hit market again

Mars is using the force in an effort to recover from declining sales. That is to say that the confectioner is rereleasing the dark  chocolate M&M's that it rolled out a year ago to commemorate the Star Wars film Revenge of The Sith. Mars will rerelease the flavor later  this year.

The company also decided to axe Aquadrops mints, Pop'ables candies and Cookies &. By the way, if anyone can explain the corporate relationship between Mars and Masterfoods, I might just be persuaded to send them a bag of the dark variety. Ten minutes of looking at the Mars Web site and I'm still clueless as to which is the parent firm.

Sad, isn't it...but totally worth it. I'm glad to hear that they are coming out again because my stash is running low! :) I totally agree....They ARE the BEST!
