Mars’ upcoming M&M’s Chocolate Bar line is the company’s third attempt in the U.S. at making a chocolate bar that features the iconic candy-coated chocolates.
The bars will be made of milk chocolate and contain whole M&M’s Minis visible throughout. They’re available in a large sharable bar format and come in five varieties — Peanut, Milk Chocolate, Crispy, Almond, and Crispy Mint.
But don’t imagine them having Crispy M&M’s Minis, Peanut M&M’s Mini, and so on. The crispy bits, peanuts, and almonds are separate from the M&M’s Minis.
While the bars will be new to Americans, Australians have had them since April 2017. Down Under, they’re called M&M’s Block Chocolate and come in six varieties — Milk Chocolate, Hazelnut, Crispy, Crispy Mint, and Strawberry.
But as I mentioned at the beginning, this isn’t M&M’s first chocolate bar rodeo.
For those of you who haven’t followed Mars’ dive into including M&M’s in chocolate bars in the U.S., its attempts began in 2004 with the release of

Would be nice to see more LTO bars. Cookies & Cream would be nice.
i want to try the crispy and hazelnut first.
Tried 2 different ones and was really dissapointed. It says its milk chocolate and both tasted like dark chocolate which I absolutely hate.
They should have used Pretzel.
Crisp Rice. Good to see this make a return. The problem with reusing the orange guy every time they want to shove something up an M&M’s butt is you never know what you’re getting. Rice? Pretzel? Caramel?
i’ve had the almond one of these, they are sold in Australia and I bought one from a company than imports OZ and NZ stuff to the UK. It was pretty good, but i imagine the chocolate is slightly different for US market
