There’s a New M&M’s Snack on Shelves and I’ve Already Finished 3 Bags

If there’s one thing to know about me, it’s that I always have snacks readily available—and I’m constantly in the mood for one. Whether it’s my pantry, my desk, my suitcase, or my purse, you’ll find a little something in there in case I need a midday pick-me-up—or a little treat after my actual meal. 

As a certified snacker, I obviously have my go-to products that I keep stocked—like Cheez-Its, Trader Joe’s Chili & Lime rolled chips, and the four-pound bag of trail mix from Sam’s Club. But, as a food editor, I’m lucky enough to try a bunch of new items that are coming to shelves—usually before they’re actually available. 

Recently, I tried the newest collab from M&M’s, and I need them to hit shelves sooner because I’m due for a restock.

Kar's Nuts and M&M's Launch New Snack Mixes

Kar’s Nuts teamed up with the beloved candy brand to create two new snack mixes that are headed to retailers now: Kar's Caramel ‘N Chocolate with M&M’s and Kar's Favorites Mix with M&M’s. 

How, you ask, is this snack mix different from the multi-pound bag of trail mix that’s currently in my pantry? Well, because Kar’s teamed up with Mars itself, the mix doesn’t just include traditional M&M’s. Instead, the products feature a mix of regular M&M’s plus Caramel M&M’s, Peanut M&M’s, and Peanut Butter M&M’s for a tasty snack unlike anything else on the market.

Additionally, Kar’s Nuts snack mixes aren’t just your boring old mixes made with salted nuts and raisins. The brand has curated each mix to compliment and balance the M&M’s in each. 

So, Kar’s Caramel ‘N Chocolate with M&M’s is made with Caramel M&M’s, traditional M&M’s, roasted and salted peanuts, and butter toffee peanuts. And Kar’s Favorites Mix with M&M’s includes classic M&M’s, Peanut Butter M&M’s, Peanut M&M’s, roasted and salted peanuts, honey-roasted peanuts, and dried cranberries. 

The brand-new products are rolling out to retailers now, where they’ll be available in 20-ounce packs at Food Lion, Harris Teeter, Gordon Food Service, and Amazon.

Personally, I will be restocking on both flavors. The Favorites Mix is distinctly “trail mix-esque” with its peanut butter-forward flavor, so it’s great when you want a savory snack. The Caramel ‘N Chocolate mix, on the other hand, is a deliciously sweet treat—the butter toffee peanuts really make this mix for me.

If you see me waiting by my mailbox for the Amazon delivery driver to arrive, no you don’t.
