It’s been a little while since I’ve had one of these M&M’s bars, but since I really enjoy almonds I thought it was about time to have another. My expectation of this bar when going in was that I would be eating a milk chocolate bar filled with almond filled M&M’s. That would make sense since Mars has made almond filled M&M’s in the past. While I haven’t seen these almond filled M&M’s recently, there’s not reason they couldn’t make them for this bar... right?
Apparently they can’t, because there was not a single almond filled M&M in this entire bar. There were M&M’s in this bar, but they were just the regular chocolate filled version, and maybe the mini ones at that. The almond came from some extremely crushed almonds that were mixed into the chocolate along with the plain chocolate M&M’s. So it’s not like the package lied, there are almond and there are M&M’s in this bar, it’s just not what I’d expected.
I have to admit that I’m fairly disappointed with this bar. While they didn’t really break any promises, they also didn’t really deliver what I (and I assume a few other people at least) was expecting. There’s nothing really special about this bar since I’ve had bars with candy coated chocolate in the past as well as a bar with crushed almonds. The ingredients were well distributed, and I think each square had at least one M&M and some almond bits too. The problem is that it just didn’t seem very special or unique.
The other problem is that the almond bits were crushed up very small. In some cases it almost felt like an almond powder over almond bits. Because of this the almonds didn’t contribute much to the texture. This isn’t a bad bar, it even delivers what’s promised, it just doesn’t deliver what could have been something really special.
