If a fat food blogger eats an entire cake in the forest and nobody is around to see it, does it make a sound?
Black Forest Cake M&M’s
The newest seasonal M&M’s – this time, to celebrate Valentine’s Day – are Black Forest Cake M&M’s.
Description via Mars Wrigley: Could there be a more perfect M&M? This Valentine’s Day, these special M&M’s will be sure to win your heart over. Each bite-sized candy is filled with a milk and dark chocolate center that boasts enticing black forest cake flavors.
Description via Junk Banter: When she asks how much you love her and the answer is 2 for $7.00.
If you’re not well-versed on Black Forest Cake, it’s a German cake featuring layers of chocolate sponge cake, whipped cream, and cherries, typically flavored with a German liqueur called kirsch, which is made from cherries.
Unfortunately Mars Wrigley isn’t quite ready to make alcoholic M&M’s, so they took a much more simple route.
It’s pretty much just cherries.
Remember the Cherry M&M’s from a few years back? Black Forest Cake M&M’s are very similar, although this time they used layers of both milk chocolate and dark chocolate. The addition of the dark chocolate means the cherry flavoring isn’t quite as strong, but they’re still remarkably similar. The flavor is somewhere between a cherry cordial and a chocolate jelly ring candy.
If they were permanent offering, I don’t think Black Forest Cake M&M’s would be a staple in my rotation. But they’re a perfectly appropriate Valentine’s Candy and I enjoy them as a nice change of pace. The cherry flavoring is quite sweet but I think the dark chocolate does a pretty good job of balancing it out.
Again, the only real bummer is that there isn’t any alcohol.
… and honestly you’ll probably score more points if you just get her a bottle of wine anyway.
Burning Questions:
- What if she doesn’t like wine? Break up with her.
- What if she doesn’t like chocolate cake? Ghost her.
- What if she doesn’t like M&M’s? Delete her from your phone.

I didn’t get a lot of cherry flavor. Might not have been able to guess the flavor without the bag.
Great Job Junkie!
