Classic (Milk Chocolate) -- a nice standby, but why would you want just chocolate when you can have something else inside?
Peanut / Dark Chocolate Peanut -- pretty good, has a really satisfying crunch
Peanut Butter -- big, fat candy bits filled to the brim with sweet delicious peanut butter. These put Reese's Pieces to shame. Love 'em
Almond -- truly the GOAT. Same amazing crunch as the peanut variety, but with a god-tier nut inside. This is the only almond candy where they don't skimp on the almonds (Yes, I'm looking at you Almond Joy).
Crispy -- Just kind of "ehhh". Contains little pieces of puffed rice (like Rice Crispies). They're not bad but I don't see the point when they have so many superior flavors out there. I have a theory that the could increase sales by 1000% of they just made these with Pop Rocks instead.
Coffee Nut -- if you're looking for a coffee+chocolate combo candy, this is pretty much your only option in the United States. I like them pretty well but don't see them sold in individual packages much. You usually have to buy them in the giant family size bags, and I don't want to make that kind of commitment to this flavor.
Pretzel -- fucking terrible. Absolutely disgusting. I say this as someone that absolutely loves chocolate-covered pretzels. These M&Ms are awful -- the center tastes like a malt ball covered in salt. They're entirely too stiff as well.....they have no give at all.....feels like you really have to chomp down on them.
Caramel -- kinda gross, but serviceable. I was expecting a delicious melty caramel center like they have in Caramello bars, but instead it's a really dry, really chewy caramel that does not go down easy. I think these things are a choking hazard.
Candy Corn -- just launched for Halloween. However you feel about candy corn is probably how you will feel about these. I'd argue that they are even worse than candy corn, because you can't jam them onto your incisors and pretend to be a vampire.
In short:
Best - Almond
Worst - Pretzel
Rare Season Flavors I Want To Try But Haven't Yet - Chilli Nut, Coconut, Pecan Pie
