Valentine M&M's
Red, White and Pink M&M's For Valentine Day - A Cupid Mix
Valentines M&M's are here! I've now seen them available in almost all of my favorite stores (and online - order below). I've been looking forward to getting a couple of bags (regular and peanut Valentine's M&Ms) to start designing Valentine Cakes & Cupcakes, but I'll tell you more about that later.
Since buying them last year, I couldn't remember if the bags had one or two shades of pink, but now I can clearly see there are indeed 2 shades of pink M&M's along with red and white ones. This is my favorite holiday bag of M&Ms!
**Update 2015: The bags are indeed, the exact same mix and colors this year. Yay!**
Scroll down for samples from each bag.
Here's the Milk Chocolate Valentine's M&M's for this year - Four colors
Here's the Peanut Variety in the Valentine's M&Ms - Also 4 colors
Here's the Peanut Butter Variety Bag - Four colors (not including purple)
Note: I expected to find purple M&Ms in my bag since there is one shown on the front - but NO! There are no purple M&M's in the bag! I added a photo as you scroll down to show the colors.
Dark Chocolate - Four colors: White, Pink, Red and yes Purple
Will there be more varieties?
Update: There are indeed 4 varieties of Valentine's M and Ms. I've now found Milk Chocolate M&M's, Peanut, Peanut Butter and Dark Chocolate M&M's in Valentine's colors. In the past, there have been solid green bags but not this year. What's interesting is that only the Dark Chocolate bag contains purple M&M's. I've added photos on this page from each bag. They are beautiful.
