The New Creepy Cocoa Crisp M&M's are Here for Halloween 2019

— July 25, 2019 — Lifestyle
While summer may be in full swing, Mars is already thinking ahead to Halloween 2019 with the debut of its new Creepy Cocoa Crisp M&M's. While the name suggests these new candies might be on the spooky side, the new M&M's look nothing short of delicious.

The new Creepy Cocoa Crisp M&Ms are described as having a "crisp cocoa center with a layer of dark chocolate." In other words, the inside of the candies will be similar to Cocoa Krispies cereal, with a satisfying crunch in every bite. Of course, the outside of the candies also boast festive autumnal colors, including red, orange, and brown.

While it may seem a little early for spooky season, Instagram twins @mnmtwinz have already spotted the candies at a Target in College Point, New York.
