M&M’s is giving its classic Peanut variety a golden twist. The candy brand has officially launched Honey Roasted Peanut M&M’s as a permanent addition to its lineup, available nationwide starting this month. The new flavor blends the familiar crunch of roasted peanuts with a toasted honey glaze, all wrapped in M&M’s signature milk chocolate and candy shell.
According to Mars Wrigley, the new flavor offers a more complex sweet-and-savory profile than traditional Peanut M&M’s, with early tasters calling it “liquid gold” and “dangerously snackable”.
What’s Inside the Candy
Each Honey Roasted Peanut M&M features:
- A honey-glazed roasted peanut center
- A layer of milk chocolate
- A candy coating in warm yellow and brown hues
The flavor is designed to evoke the nostalgic richness of honey-roasted nuts, with a subtle sweetness that balances the saltiness of the peanut and the creaminess of the chocolate.
Where to Find Them
Honey Roasted Peanut M&M’s are available in:
- Single size
- Share size
- Sharing-size stand-up pouches
They’re rolling out to grocery stores and online retailers throughout September, though some fans have already spotted them on shelves and are stocking up by the bag—or pallet.
This new flavor joins a growing family of peanut-based M&M’s, including:
- Peanut Butter & Jelly M&M’s (launched in 2024)
- Peanut Butter Minis
- Peanut Butter Mega M&M’s
- Dark Chocolate Peanut M&M’s
While past flavors like Toasted Holiday Peanut were seasonal, Honey Roasted Peanut is here to stay, making it only the second peanut variant to become a permanent fixture alongside the original.
Fan Reactions
Social media is already buzzing with praise. One fan wrote, “I could do a whole bag of these in a heartbeat,” while another joked, “Yes, hi M&M’s… could you just send me a pallet full, thanks”. The flavor’s launch comes just in time for fall, when candy consumption spikes and cozy flavors reign supreme.
