M&M’S® came out with three new internationally-inspired flavors, and my family and I knew we had to try them. I live with my sister and brother – and we all have very different tastes. I love hot and spicy; my sister loves sweet and savory
We bought all three new M&M’S® flavors at our local 7-Eleven. After a very thorough taste testing (and a sugar coma), we found our favorites!
You can also take the taste test at home! Here are the flavor descriptors of each M&M’S®:
- Mexican Jalapeño Peanut: It’s spicy. It’s
chocolate-y . It’s muydelicioso . - Thai Coconut Peanut: Indulge in the savory sweet taste of Thai Coconut Peanut M&M’S candies—inspired by the tropics of Thailand.
- English Toffee Peanut: Taste the deliciousness of English Toffee Peanut M&M’S candies. Almost like a trip to Great Britain itself.
TRY THEM ALL and vote for your favorite flavor! New internationally-inspired flavors: Mexican Jalapeño Peanut, English Toffee Peanut, & Thai Coconut Peanut. Vote and you could win a trip around the world
The sweepstakes runs from Jan. 28 to May 17.

COURTNEY’S PICK
Courtney picked the Thai Coconut Peanut M&M’S®. She said these were so spot on – they were savory but somehow managed to be just as sweet.
She said the peanut really helped carry over the Thai-inspiration, and the sweet hint of coconut really won her over.
CALVIN’S PICK
Calvin picked the English Toffee Peanut – which did not surprise me because he has an affliction for both sweet things and the United Kingdom.
He said he also loved the toffee taste, and it gave a different experience than the original peanut M&M’S®.
TAYLOR’S PICK
I picked the Mexican Jalapeño Peanut – and no one was surprised. I put jalapeños on absolutely everything.
I love sweet heat – it’s my favorite flavor.
