Cookies with Chocolate M&M’s minis have been launched by Mars Chocolate Drinks & Treats as a new snack product that makes use of the brand's recently introduced M&M's minis chocolate candies.
The cookies have a classic baked good recipe that's packed with ample M&M's minis to give every bite a crispy, crunchy texture with ample chocolate flavor to boot. The cookies also have a colorful profile thanks to the candies in the mix that help to give them further character and visual appeal. The product is making its way to retailers in the UK in packs priced starting at £1.90.
General Manager Michelle Frost spoke on the Cookies with Chocolate M&M’s minis saying, "We anticipate that the launch of Cookies with Chocolate M&M’S minis will attract a new younger shopper to the cookie aisle. We believe that we have an enticing consumer proposition, with M&M’s being the biggest chocolate brand globally, a fantastic tasting product and eye-catching packing."
