Birthday Cake M&M’s

mm_birthday_cake.jpgSome things can’t be improved. Milk Chocolate (a.k.a. “regular”) and Peanut M&M’s may be two of those things. I happen to think that Peanut M&M’s are slightly more delicious than the Milk Chocolate ones, but I love them both. Either way, they are about as close to candy perfection as you can get. Much like Pretzel M&M’s, Birthday Cake M&M’s don’t even come close. First, they don’t really have a “cake” flavor. There’s some frosting flavor going on, but that’s about it. They certainly didn’t remind me of birthday cake, only of eating Betty Crocker frosting with my finger out of one of those plastic tubs. Oh, come on. You know you’ve done it too. The other thing wrong with Birthday Cake M&M’s is their size. They are a bit larger than regular M&M’s, with a bigger milk chocolate center. This throws off the ever-important “milk chocolate to candy coating ratio.” Buy a bag of Birthday Cake M&M’s if you must, just to give them a try. I’ll bet, however, that you probably won’t buy them again.

Phoood rating: So-so

You're right about these. I had to buy a(small) bag because I am a chocoholic who loves cake and these sounded so promising. The partially eaten bag is still sitting in my candy jar, almost a month after I bought them. Not worth the calories.

I must be the only person that actually think they tasted like birthday cake. I really liked them and thought the size suited the flavor, weirdly. It is vaguely frosting-like but it is also cheap grocery store chocolate cake.
