If you've been waiting for your next snack obsession, look no further than the new M&M’s Munchums.
The new M&M’s Munchums are billed as a better-for-you version of the candies you know and love. The new candies feature a crunchy, baked shell that’s coated in milk chocolate and surrounds a crispy center. Not only are the new candies baked, but they are also gluten-free, made with natural flavors, and contain 40% less sugar than M&M’s Milk Chocolate Candies. Mars has also given the new M&M’s Munchums unique packaging and the color of each piece is tan (instead of the usual rainbow hues).
With 70 pieces inside each 4.94-ounce Sharing Size bag, there's more than enough to go around.
