Coconut M&M's, Puckerooms and more!

In one of this year's most controversial posts, Mr. Goodbar took a close look at the economics of M&M's. It was in this investigation where he suggested a brilliant idea: coconut M&M's. So guess what the latest flavor is going to be? Yep, coconut! Check out some of the other new releases that'll be coming soon at Candy Dish Blog. I'm intrigued by the cranberry Raisinettes and all of the Nestle Crunch variations.

I'm also excited about the Wonka products, particularly the Wonka Puckerooms, described as "the chewiest new treat made with natural ingredients and 25 percent real fruit juice. Each cherry, lemon-orange and grape mushroom-shaped sour gummi candy delivers a bitter twist with a curious combination of squishy and sour to dazzle your mouth." I'm not so sure about that "bitter twist" part, but I'm always on board for sour.

I have a buddy who actually has some packages of the Limited Edition Coconut M&M's. He gave me a pack to try. They are a bit larger than regular M&M's. They are colored either white, green, or dark brown. Some have the regular "m" printed on them and others have an "m" with a palm tree.

As a huge coconut candy fan, I have to say this is a great idea. Unfortunately, they need a bit more intense coconut flavor.
