Flavored M&Ms Shake Up Your Taste Buds




Mars recently launched exciting new flavors of M&M Peanuts. I chose the Chilli Nut M&Ms and was not disappointed. First, when I began to chew, the candy tasted like a regular Peanut M&M until I was almost finished chewing. As I was ending my chocolate vacation, the spicy flavor of chilli peppers knocked out my taste buds.

I thought the chilli flavor was strong but not over powering. The spiciness lingered until I swallowed. It stayed on my tongue for the right amount of time and did not last after I finished the candy. Some of the pieces were stronger than others since my father had one and did not taste much of the chilli. However, my piece was a punch of flavor. I think I will try the Honey Nut flavor next time.

After trying the Chilli Nut Peanut M&Ms, I decided to try the competition: Honey Nut Peanut M&Ms. I popped one in my mouth and tasted a sweetness similar to honey. The flavor was pleasant and delicious. It tasted as if someone poured honey in the M&Ms candy.

I noticed a pattern when I looked at the Honey Nut M&Ms: color scheme. The chilli M&Ms I tried had a hot color scheme: red, orange and brown. The Honey Nut M&Ms have a different scheme: dark yellow, bright yellow and black. The colors remind me of honey bees, which have yellow and black in them.

Oreo Candy Bar Not As Good As The Cookie







When I saw that Oreo made a candy bar, I was curious to see what it tastes like. It was too sweet. The combination of the creme, the chocolate and the cookies made it too sweet. The bar is similar to the Cadbury caramellos in the way the candy is presented. It is one long bar with pieces you can break off. Oddly enough, the cookie is crisp when I bite into the bar. Even though I am a fan of Oreo cookies and deep fried Oreos, I wouldn’t eat the candy bar again.
