During a chocolate expedition a couple of weeks ago I came across some Limited Edition Razzberry M&M’s.

Each bag is 1.5 ounces and a bright shade of fuschia. These M&M’s follow the Wildly Cherry size formula and are also about the size of a peanut butter M&M. The color is a typical raspberry used by candy makers – not quite pink but not red either (but at least they’re not an inexplicable blue!).

Now, I love raspberry and chocolate together. When I go to See’s I have to stop myself from getting an entire pound of just raspberry creams. They’re divine.

So while these are “just” M&M’s, I was really looking forward to trying them (and I’m not comparing them to See’s, just disclosing that I love raspberry and chocolate). Sadly, the raspberry/chocolate combo in the M&M’s doesn’t work for me. These have a fakey raspberry flavor that seems to be trying too hard and overpowers the chocolate, which eventually comes through but mostly as an aftertaste.

Have you tried them? What do you think?
