With the bars I've not tried running out (though there is a few notable exceptions) I've decided to try eating more sweets. One of the most peculiar sights at a shop is the blue bags of M&Ms, I only ever seem to remember the brown bag and the yellow bag, the chocolate and the nut variety, so it was this reason that I decided to have the crispy ones first. M&Ms are rather an old sweet and have quite a long and storied past that dates back to the 1940's and were created by by Mars head honcho Forrest Mars, Sr. Due to way the chocolate was rationed a deal was struck with Hershey's who's then president was Will F.R. Murrie. In return for being allowed to use ...  Read the complete review

M&Ms Crispy are a variety of M&Ms produced in the UK by Mars. Being a bit of a sucker for all things in the confectionary world (including chocolate ants... but that's another story!) I had to get a packet. Supermarket checkout, every mother's nightmare, sweets within easy "oh it's only one packet" reach. Thus the M&Ms came to end up in my bag. My purse is about 40p less well off. I imagine that most people have tried regular or peanut M&Ms in the past and these are not far different. A crunchy, coloured sugar shell (like the outside of a smartie but less starchy), gives way to chocolate and then, in the Crispy variety, a ...  Read the complete review

Crispy M&Ms are milk chocolate and rice inside a crisp coloured shell. M&Ms are available in six colours: Brown, Yellow, Orange, Red, Blue & Green. They are contained within a blue packet which displays the characters of M & M, a chocolate and a peanut M&M. The bag is adorned with lots of pictures of crispy M&Ms which are nice and tempting and always makes me remember just how nice they are before I purchase a bag. The milk chocolate is delicious and creamy and the crisp outer shell is ideal to give a real delicious treat, the rice gives these a lovely crisp bite and is just another delicious addition. I love breaking ...  Read the complete review

Innovation is something that we have come to expect in this day and age. No longer can food and confection manufacturers rest on their laurels of the favourites of yesteryear. They must tantalize and entice us with new taste and textures to make us even fatter and more sloth-like than before. Mars has done their best to give us some small twist on an old theme with their Crispy M&M’s. According to the M&M web page for this product, “It was July of 2002 and families across the country were enjoying the holidays with the newest member of the "M&M's"® family — "M&M's"® Crispy. Characterized by their crispy rice centre and slightly bigger  Read the complete review

The M&M's that seem to be around the most at the moment and have been for a long time has only been the peanut ones and I struggled like mad to find even a tiny packet of crispy ones.. That was until a few weeks ago when I visited a shop close to my other half's house where I found small bags of crispy M&M's.. And then a little while later I found big bags of them.. At about 49p per small bad and £1.79 for a large packet I decided it could be my little treat every now and again..! So crispy M&M's.. for those of you who don't remember come in a bright blue packet with the two famous M&M characters in red and yellow.. With pictures of ...  Read the complete review
