Aside from a few limited edition flavors, such as the mint chocolate that is released around Christmas, M&M'S aren't candies that get too exotic. They stick to milk, dark and white chocolate, with the occasional nut or other filling thrown in. But now, on their website, M&M'S is launching eight new flavors of the popular candies. The new flavors, which are sold in a "premium collectible" tin, include:
- All That Razz - Creamy white chocolate + milk chocolate + raspberry-flavored candy shell
- Eat, Drink and Be Cherry - Creamy white chocolate + milk chocolate + black cherry-flavored candy shell
- A Day at the Peach - Creamy white chocolate + milk chocolate + peach-flavored candy shell
- Orange-U Glad - Creamy white chocolate + milk chocolate + orange-flavored candy shell
- AlmonDee-licious - Almond + creamy white chocolate + candy shell
- Mint Condition - Creamy white chocolate + milk chocolate + mint-flavored candy shell
- Nut What You Think - Peanut + creamy white chocolate + candy shell
- Cookie Mintster - Crispy center + dark chocolate + speckled mint-flavored candy shell
Unfortunately, there is no indication that these flavors will be available offline, so if you want to try them, you'll have to purchase the whole $49.95 package. Alternatively, you could get the tin as a gift for an M&M-loving family member and just "share" with them.

They sound great! But if they're not widely available, I'm not holding my breath. Why do they tempt us like this?

These have actually been around for a bit (at least since july/august).
I haven't tried them, due to the cost, but some of them sound pretty yummy.

Some of the flavors sound pretty good but the price NO. They ought to just sell tins of each flavor that you could buy individually. They'd make great stocking stuffers.

Put 'em in 12 ounce bags for $2.69 each and I promise I will try then ALL. But for $50? I don't need a decorative tin that badly.

I have tried these, they are okay, nothing really to write home about and definately NOT worth the price.

BIG YUK, why can't believe in the old adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Leave my M&M's alone, I like my plain old M&M's.

I'd like to try it, but not at that price! I will NOT pay that much for candy -- not even Godiva! I'd like the opportunity to sample the new flavors, but at a REASONABLE cost!

m&m's are already cheap candy... usually loaded with more parafin wax than they are actual chocolate. why would they add more chemicals to the mix only to give them a flavor reminiscent of what good chocolate (made with quality ingredients) can achieve? Then again, I may be setting the bar a little high... my favorite "candy" (if you can even call it that)is lindt 99% cocoa...

White "chocolate" is not REAL chocolate. The flavors sound delicious, but I hate white chocolate. Lose the white stuff and lower the price and I am all over it!!
