At first I thought they were just ok, but now I’m hooked. THEY’RE INSIDIOUSLY GOOD. ---

Hmm, okay. This just happened. I thought to myself “self,” I thought “caramel M&Ms sound tasty. But there are so many varieties of M&Ms now that it would be easier to find them if I knew what color bag they are.” So I did a google search on “caramel M&Ms” and it quite helpfully found the M&M’S Product Locator page. “Aha!”, I thought again", even more helpful; will the usefulness of the internet never cease to amaze me. I clicked on the link. > [@](#): > > As a responsible manufacturer, we need to check your age to ensure that we adhere to our commitment to market our brands responsibly. > > Please enter your date of birth: For M&Ms?

I got my daughter the caramel M&Ms a couple of weekends ago, and just now asked her _exactly_ how good they are. She replied by wordlessly giving a thumbs-up; and then kept at it while adding a thumbs-up with her other hand; and then kept both thumbs-ups going while lifting a foot to give a thumbs-up with her big toe; and then flopped down on the sofa to add yet another big-toe thumbs-up for effect. ---

I prefer some of the other ones, like dark chocolate (never available in small bags, darn it), dark mint, and crispy. Caramel is too sweet for my taste, and too chewy. By the way, there are several shades of blue bags, including pretzel and dark chocolate. Select yours with care. ---

Another vote for “they are very good”. I bought mine at Walmart. Are they in other stores as well? Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk ---

What a coinkydink; I just bought a bag to bring in to work. I haven’t tried them yet but they’re getting good reviews. They’re like tiny Milky Way’s with crunchy shells. I think my favorite is either dark chocolate or peanut butter. The worst are the pretzels. ---

The hubby is hooked on them but I think the pretzel is just a little too big and it needs a touch of salt. Peanut is #1 for me but I might have to grab a bag of caramel this afternoon and do a quality review for the team… Thanks for the heads up! ---

To die for. I bought a bag at WalMart and a bag at Walgreen’s. Claims they are the “sharing size” but one bag is single serving for me. ---

They are dangerously good. I had one small bag and that’s it–just one more will snowball into a chewy, gooey, delicious slippery slope from which I’m unlikely to recover. So I’ll revel in the memory. ---
