As soon as we heard M&M's released three new peanut flavors, we got our hands on them immediately. Only one flavor will remain on shelves for good, so we conducted a very official office-wide taste test to help determine which one we hope wins the Flavor Vote contest. Here's what you should know before you pick these up for yourself:
Coffee Nut

Coffee-lovers were obviously excited about this flavor, and while the chocolate-coffee M&M's are undoubtedly tasty (I could eat a whole bag), the coffee flavor isn't nearly as strong as I'd hoped.
★★★★☆
Honey Nut

No, they don't taste like Honey Nut Cheerios, or really honey for that matter. They are tasty and have a slight honey taste, but not much, which is a plus if you're not that into honey. Overall, they're yummy, but not the one we'd pick from the shelf.
★★★☆
Chili Nut

Yes, these are SPICY. The title of these red and orange M&M's doesn't lie — after a few seconds of chewing, the spice kicks in, and the chili flavor pairs really well with sweet chocolate. While this is definitely not a kid-friendly version, it turned out to be the surprising favorite among our co-workers.
