M&M CINNAMON

I realised the other day that we haven’t looked at different flavours of M&Ms for a long time on this particular article, so I thought that we would delve back into the world of this chocolate and have a look at a flavour that was released over 13 years ago.

In 2011, it was announced that for a limited time you would be able to purchase a brand new flavour for the winter time – M&M Cinnamon flavour.

The chocolate was an exclusive for the grocery store Target and it combined the flavours of milk chocolate with cinnamon. The candy shells were three different colours – red, deep red and maroon. They could be purchased either as a 9.9 ounce or a 12 ounce bag for a starting price of $2.99.

There are positive reviews online of these candies with praise being given to the subtle cinnamon flavour.
