M&M's Honey Roasted Peanut candies have been added to the brand's permanent product portfolio as a sweet and salty take on a classic favorite. The candies start off roasted peanuts covered with a honey glaze before being finished with chocolate and the classic hard candy shell on the exterior. The candy thus boasts a sweet, rich and slightly salty flavor that will work well for fans of the brand's original peanut variety and the other options that put nuts in the spotlight.
M&M's Honey Roasted Peanut candies are making their debut at the perfect time of year to embrace the shift back indoors when consumers will start to crave more complex, comforting flavor experiences when snacking from the couch.
