Spring is just around the corner and Mars Inc. is gearing up with a whole host of seasonal candies, including the new Honey Graham M&M’s.
As you might have guessed from the name, the new Honey Graham M&M’s are inspired by the classic taste of Honey Maid graham crackers, but with a chocolate twist. More specifically, the new candies consist of a crisp rice center that tastes just like golden graham crackers, covered in a layer of rich milk chocolate and a crispy candy coating. In keeping with the spring theme, the new Honey Graham M&M’s come in various shades of yellow and brown.
Whether enjoyed on their own, paired with an Easter dessert, or even given away as a seasonal treat, the new Honey Graham M&M’s are sure to delight kids and adults alike.
