If you could travel the world and eat exotic, regionally-inspired M&M’s in each place you visited, which countries would you choose?

Well you don’t get to choose; the countries are Mexico, England and Thailand.

M&M’s Flavor Vote 2019

Mars has brought back its popular Flavor Vote competition, and this time they’ve put an international spin on it. The three flavors, all Peanut M&M varieties, are:

1. English Toffee Peanut M&M’s
2. Mexican Jalapeño Peanut M&M’s
3. Thai Coconut Peanut M&M’s

For this year’s contest, Mars is basically bribing us to take action. Simply cast your vote through the Flavor Vote Website or text “Vote” to 84444 and you’ll be entered to win a trip to all three countries.

Not a bad deal for eating some candy that I was going to buy anyway.

My bags are already packed (sombrero, a power adapter, bug spray, and a stomach pump), so let’s get right into the flavors.

This review is part three of a three-part series:

English Toffee Peanut M&M’s

According to Mars, English Toffee Peanut M&M’s “tastes as elegant as a trip to Great Britain itself”, which in their native country translates to“tastes as elegant as a trip to Great Britain itself.”

Rejected flavors include Fish & Chip Peanut M&M’s, Bangers & Mash Peanut M&M’s, and English Muffin Peanut M&M’s.

Blimey! So I expected these to be good, and they certainly are…

But they also taste a bloody lot like the Peanut Brrri-ttle M&M’s sold each of the last two winters.

I can’t say I’m chuffed to bits about it.

Very similar flavor profile, but these English Toffee Peanut M&M’s are probably a little sweeter with less of a “burnt” flavor than Peanut Brrr-ittle. Almost a touch maple-y.

I’m not sure this tastes too much like toffee, or what makes toffee an English one to be honest. I kinda just taste a brown sugary, caramelized flavor along with the peanut. This “toffee” flavor definitely overwhelms the chocolate flavor so much so that it nearly replaces it entirely. Again, they’re GOOD, but I also don’t care.

You hear that England? We don’t care about you.

Burning Questions:

1. What did England ever do to you? The New England Patriots.
2. New England is in America. LOL, England is a continent…
3. Wow, did you even attend high school? It’s pronounced “pre-school”, dumbass.
