Why am I always the last person to hear about these things?<\/p>\n

Saw a Tweet from Stacy talking about them: Coconut M&Ms reminiscent of Mounds bar in flavor. Don’t eat more than three at a time though or industrial strength tooth-scraping req.<\/em> <\/p>\n

And then ran across them at Walgreens, so I had to pick up a pack.<\/p>\n

Ostensibly they are just slightly larger chocolate M&Ms with coconut flavoring in them — no coconut or actual Mounds-like goo. They do see a bit sticker than normal, though (hence the tooth-scraping).<\/p>\n

Tasty, if you like coconut. A bit sweeter than normal M&Ms, but not excessively so. Not something I’d probably scarf a whole bowl down of, like the usual M&M flavors, but pleasant in small doses.<\/p>\n

(Yes, honey, I saved some for you.)<\/p>\n
