Below are the winners of the Razzberry M&M’s! If I don’t hear from a winner within the next 24 hours or they live outside the U.S. (I did get a few of those!), I will re-draw tomorrow and update here.

I used a random number generator for the drawing so without further ado:

Marilyn Wons, who wrote: “OH YUM!!!”

Audrey Larson, who wrote: “I love M&Ms ~ all flavors!”

Deborah Osterman, who wrote: “Love M&MS. Love rasberry so I can’t wait to taste these.”

Lynne, who wrote: “Wow, these sound really good”

Angie P., who wrote: “Must try these!”

The winners have all been emailed so if you see your name above but haven’t heard from me, feel free to drop me a note to double check that it’s you (if you didn’t receive the aforementioned email).

Again, if winners do not respond within 24 hours a new name(s) will be drawn.

Thank you everyone who entered and please keep an eye out over the next several weeks for my next contest!

As usual, the Razzberry M&M’s that I just reviewed were purchased in bulk, meaning I have a whole lot of Razzberry M&M’s sitting in the cupboard!

So here’s your chance to win a bag to try for yourself! I’ll be giving away one 1.5oz bag each to FIVE people who leave a comment in this entry. That’s it! The winners will be chosen at random this coming Monday, March 31.

One entry per person please! Duplicate/multiple entries from one person will all be discarded. And yes, I do check!

I do need to limit the participation of the contest to folks in the U.S., though, as shipping a package of M&M’s pretty much anywhere else will cost more than the candy itself! Please also make sure you leave a valid email address so I can contact you if you win!

Good luck!

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?
