They've embraced a new filling and it sounds delicious.

When it comes to buying a packet of M&Ms, it can be a real challenge deciding which filling to get. The original brown packet for chocolate, the yellow packet for peanut or blue for crispy... It's a TOTAL life or death decision. For those fans of M&Ms who aren't fans of either packets or always looking for something a little moreish, well look no further my friends.
