Raspberry flavoured M&M's

[M&M's has launched the first fruit-flavored chocolate candies in its 66-year history using one of the world's most popular fruits.

The M&M's Razzberry Chocolate Candies will be available in stores for a six-week limited period and offer the "great-tasting, colourful chocolate fun" of traditional M&M's with the sweet flavour of raspberries.

Owned by Mars US, the M&M's brand has also relaunched its Dark Chocolate Peanut Candies on a permanent basis, following demand from consumers after the product was given a limited edition launch in April 2005.

Anibal Martini, M&M's global marketing director, said: "At M&M's, we are committed to constant innovation to create fun, great-tasting products that deliver unique experiences to our consumers."

The global market for dark chocolate is growing rapidly as consumers become more interested in its potential benefits and lower fat content.

M&M's research found that raspberry is one of the most popular fruit flavours with consumers and the new M&M's Razzberry Chocolate Candies packaging declares that "This is Berry Cool".]

It doesn't say these are for the UK, but if they come here I would try them.

I can't see them launching these here - which is a shame, as they sound nice.
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

They do sound nice but I don't agree that raspberries have a sweet flavour.
 

I'm having raspberries tonight with home-made plum jelly and creme fraiche
Old but spicey!

Hmmmm, yes, that FDIN site really can be misleading as it doesn't say where products are being launched despite a .co.uk tag.
