Sweet, delicious confection,

Oh how I love thee,

Chocolaty, minty, coffee, nutty goodness

My stomach aches, I can’t stop eating you!

Did I ever tell you all that I wanted to be a model? Seriously, I really did. I had such high aspirations for cat walking, but apparently there is this diet thing. Sweets are kind of frowned upon and I’m a committed sugar addict. Quitting is for losers and I’m way too fabulous for that. I’m a frosting fashionista ( lover of all things frosting and fashion). So when BlogHer asked if I wanted to try out the new M&M’s Premiums flavors I said “Heck yeah”. I don’t turn down anything free (except spam) and I was overjoyed when my samples arrived. Thanks Mars you completely made my day.

Let me give you the lowdown on M&M’s Premiums. There are five flavors Triple Chocolate, Mint Chocolate, Mocha, Chocolate Almond and Raspberry Almond. In addition to the flavors, Mars has changed the traditional M&M bags to chic, designer like box packaging. The crunchy candy coating that regular M&M’s are known for is gone. In it’s place is a shiny, ultra feminine, gem-like exterior. This is not your children’s chocolate. M&M’s Premiums are an adult treat, a confection to be shared with your girls and hidden from your kids.

Triple Chocolate has been my favorite. I like chocolate overload and I prefer not to have interference from other flavors or textures. It’s creamy smooth white, dark and milk chocolate all wrapped up in a pint size package. This is the true chocolate lover’s dream.

I know Mint Chocolate is an acquired taste for many people but I haven’t met one person that hasn’t liked them (I’ve been sharing, can you believe it?). A friend said they remind her of thin mints. Mars managed to combine the right amount of mint and chocolate, neither is dominating the other. I like them.

I’ve been having problems getting into the idea of Raspberry Almond. My opinion on them isn’t completely formed. They are alright, I don’t hate them but I don’t love them. Honestly, if they were the only candy left in the candy dish I’d happily eat them.

Mocha is purely a coffee lover’s treat. I don’t do coffee. I wouldn’t eat them under normal circumstances. I am happy to report that all of my coffee drinking co-workers raved about them. One very strange co-worker walked around inhaling from the bag.

I’m a nut lover. I’m happy that Mars decided to include regular Almond. They weren’t anything extraordinary flavor wise but they looked good. I like them better than regular M&M’s with almonds. Not having a crunchy coating is appealing to me (the distracting texture thing again). The shell, chocolate and almond merge together in your mouth.

Overall I’m impressed with M&M’s Premiums. They’re more luxe than eating a candy bar. Not only are they delicious but they invoke a glam feeling. Having candy this beautiful is enough to derail any fashionista’s diet. It’s cool because living a fashionista’s life is simply fabulous… always fun.
