M&M's keeps coming and going with the changing seasons, but thankfully some of the best flavor creations are here to stay for good. We've already checked out some of the core M&M's flavors and ranked them in order (shout-out to our number-one Peanut Butter M&M's), but since so many new options have come out, we decided to rank those as well. We rounded them all up and put a lot of thought and effort into really examining the flavor. (We ate a boat load of M&M's, is what I mean by that.) You'll be pleased to know that our favorite shouldn't be disappearing from shelves any time soon, so you can easily get your hands on them . . .

Vanilla Cupcake M&M's

The cupcake flavoring is a little artificial on these, which makes it hard to eat too many at once. They were OK, but not our favorite.

Booterscotch M&M's

We had mixed feelings about this flavor, because we hoped for a really rich butterscotch flavor. What we actually got was a candy that was a little bit too sweet and a little bit too artificial tasting.

Honey Nut M&M's

Honey Nut M&M's

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.

Coffee Nut M&M's

While these M&M's definitely have a coffee taste to them, the flavor isn't that strong, which can be good or bad depending on what you want. We wish the flavor was stronger.

White Chocolate M&M's

White Chocolate M&M's

White Chocolate M&M's have been coming and going as a flavor and they're finally here to stay, which is great, because they're a solidly delicious flavor. They're not too buttery and have just the perfect balance of white chocolate underneath the crunchy shell.

Chili Nut M&M's

Chili Nut M&M's

These are actually 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.

White Cheesecake M&M's

OK, we totally wish the White Cheesecake M&M's were a full-time flavor, because they are awesome. They taste a bit like cream cheese frosting mixed with the white chocolate and are a hefty little bite!

Crispy M&M's

Crispy M&M's recently made a comeback, and we're so glad they did. The little round candies have just the right amount of crunch inside and have solidified a place in our candy rotation.

Caramel M&M's

Caramel M&M's are literally the best M&M's ever to have been created. They have your usual M&M crunch on the outside but have a rich, chewy caramel center that's packed with flavor.
