I tried them as well and had high hopes because they are SO PRETTY! (Imagining all the fun things I could do with them on cakes and cookies, etc.) The first one I tried was the raspberry and all I could think of was "who dropped the raspberry candle in my M&M bag?" BLECH! I know that there is a lot of competition for the upscale chocolate market but these just flopped.................... Give me a BIG bag of plain old garden variety peanut M&Ms any day! Bren
