PB&J fans get ready because it looks like Peanut Butter & Jelly M&M's will be hitting store shelves in December of 2024.
Described as a "comforting twist on a classic favorite," the new Peanut Butter & Jelly M&M's deliver the sweet and nutty pairing of a staple childhood sandwich. Each pack features berry-flavored, bite-sized chocolate candies, all filled with a smooth and nutty peanut butter center. As Gabrielle Wesley, Chief Marketing Officer, Mars Wrigley North America, explains, "Our new M&M'S Peanut Butter & Jelly taps into a cross-generational staple, turning a delicious and comforting snack into a bite-sized treat to be enjoyed and shared."
In addition to the usual size, the new Peanut Butter & Jelly M&M's will also be available in Mini and Mega varieties.
