mint chip M&Ms

Postby QuickChick » Sun Apr 20, 2008 2:55 pm

OK, I tend to be a bit of an M&M purist. I looooove the plain ones, and they've always been my favourite. I even like them better than the dark ones. Recently, though, I discovered mint chip M&Ms, and I think I have a new favourite!! They are dangerously good. I think they might be a limited release thing, though, for the Indiana Jones movie. Try them... they are sooooo yummy!! Also a package is only 200 calories, as opposed to the whopping 240 calories that the plain ones pack. :roll: OK, so not that significant, but it's something!

I got them at Blockbuster, but it was in Ottawa. The one near you usually has a pretty decent candy selection though... or should I tell you that? Go have an apple. Yeah. That'll satisfy your candy craving. Right? :twisted: ;)

Ha Ha...I just finished the stupid apple! However, wondering if I need to rent a movie from Blockbuster tonight. I could check out their candy selection for you. LOL

I was in Walmart at lunch today and they had them - So I HAD to pick up a bag. They are yummy, they are a "crisp" very light tasting. Glad I got only one bag or I'd be eating them all afternoon.

These are a potential downfall for me. :)

We have some in our freezer (right...like that is going to stop me!) But yesterday I managed to have just a few (like, 15) pieces of them. I need to just stay strong! ;)

I better not try them. I love mint and chocolate together. It could be very bad for me to taste them.

Yum - I just had some of the mint ones today. They are dangerously addictive. I will be strong, I will be strong, I will be strong...

Seriously? How does one HATE any sort of M&Ms? I wouldn't even say I hate the peanut ones, and I can say "no" to those without a problem.
