M&M’s launched candy corn-flavored M&M’s last Halloween with a 9-ounce big bag, and the flavor was a pretty big success, because this year they’ve brought them back.\u00a0 But for Halloween 2012 not only did the big 9-ounce package return but they’ve also released a set of six different small packs to collect.\u00a0 Today we’re going to take a look at the fun packaging for these tasty treats.<\/p>\n

M&M’s have been releasing limited seasonal flavors for some time now, but typically offering them only in larger 9-ounce holiday packages.\u00a0 That was certainly the case when, for Halloween 2011, M&M’s introduced White Chocolate Candy Corn M&M’s.\u00a0 When I saw them in the big bag last year, I had to pick them up.\u00a0 I was not disappointed — the flavor was quite different, but delicious.\u00a0\u00a0 Here’s what the large-size package looked like:<\/p>\n

It was great seeing the smart-Alec Red M&M wearing the candy corn costume and I was an instant fan of this flavor of M&M’s, too.<\/p>\n

So it was that I looked forward to the return of candy corn M&M’s this year.\u00a0\u00a0 But not only did the 9-ounce pack return, but M&M’s also introduced a set of six different standard small-size packs, each with a unique illustration.\u00a0 As a fan of the flavor I was excited, but as a collector I was doubly-thrilled.<\/p>\n

The move to releasing holiday flavors and packs in the small size started last year with a release of Christmas-themed M&M’s packs in the standard size.\u00a0 It’s great to see limited flavors like this released in a format other than the “big bags” and so it’s a trend that I hope continues.\u00a0 It’ll be a great thing to look forward to as a collector.<\/p>\n

It’s always great when a new standard pack flavor of M&M’s is released, so of course I had to get them all.\u00a0\u00a0 And here they are:<\/p>\n

M&M’s Candy Corn – 1.5 oz packs 4-6 – October 2012<\/p><\/div>\n

I was compelled to get all six, and fortunately for me I really like this flavor – so none of the candy went to waste.<\/p>\n

I thought only the fronts were different but I did find two variations on the back sides of these as well:<\/p>\n

So that’s the story so far on White Chocolate Candy Corn M&M’s.\u00a0 They’re a great addition to M&M’s seasonal lineup as well as a fun assortment of packaging to track down and collect.<\/p>\n

And that’s everything for today’s post.\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
