Hazelnut Spread Candies: New From M&M’s

M&M’S has announced two new-product launches: Chocolate Bars and Hazelnut Spread Chocolate Candies. The products will become permanent additions to the brand’s line-up, marking some of the biggest innovations in the company’s history.
M&M’S is introducing fun to a new section of the chocolate aisle with the launch of chocolate bars, available in starting December, consist of milk chocolate with whole M&M’S Minis inclusions in large bar format. The bars will be available nationwide in five flavor varieties: Peanut (3.9-ounce), Milk Chocolate (4.0-ounce), Crispy (3.8-ounce), Almond (3.9-ounce) and Crispy Mint (3.8-ounce).
With the second new product, the company brings a beloved flavor into its classic colorful candy-coated shells. Hazelnut Spread Chocolate Candies feature a hazelnut spread center, covered in milk chocolate. Hazelnut Spread Chocolate Candies will be available nationwide beginning April, 2019m in a teal bag, in Singles (1.35-ounce), Share Size (2.53-ounce) and Sharing Size Stand Up Pouch (8.3-ounce).
“The industry is changing, and consumer tastes are evolving. We’re continuing to recognize and anticipate demand. We’re excited to debut M&M’S Chocolate Bars and know that our M&M’S fans and chocolate bar lovers alike will appreciate the delicious taste that comes from our rich and creamy chocolate,” said Allison Miazga-Bedrick, Senior Brand Director. “We’re equally passionate for the launch of M&M’S Hazelnut Spread Chocolate Candies next year. We’re thrilled to deliver this new flavor with color and fun, in a way that only M&M’S can.”
