Crispy M&M’s-Where did they go?

Filed under: General — Christi at 9:26 am on Friday, April 28, 2006

So my husband and I were walking through target the other day and we realized that Crispy M&Ms have disappeared. I don’t remember hearing they were going to discontinue them but all of a sudden they are no more. My husband being the M&M fanatic that he is was very disappointed. I was too as I always liked them. I wonder what made them discontinue them.

I realized this the other day when is saw some one with M&M’s original candy and I thought “Oh I would love some Crispy M&Ms.” But they are discontinued and I am qutie sad, they are so delicious. I emailed M&M.com and told them to bring them back because I want some right now.

As far as I’m aware they still do make Peanut Butter M&Ms if they didn’t I would be very upset as I like those alot! Now I will have to check when I go to the store tomorrow. My husbands new addiction is Mega M&M (Peanut).

I’m with you guys on the Crispy M&M thing. I wanted some so bad last night and went to a couple stores to find them. To my dismay there were none. I am so disappointed if they have been discontinued! I’m still craving them and nothing else will take their place! I do remember that they were out at Easter time, so maybe they’ve turned them into a Holiday edition. But I hope not!

Hey, I did happened to find some Peanut Butter M&Ms, thought I would stop by and let you know. Still good, and yes, still around. Thanks for that hot tip ;)

I too love Crispy M&Ms and am upset that I am unable to purchase them.
Question for all: If you guys could marry a candy what would it be?
I would totally marry crispy M&M’s!! :)
We should all unite and send a petition to the M&M company to bring them back!!

I think i would marry a Crunch Bar. I like Nestle’s chocolate more. Also, I am for that petition thing, Crispy M&Ms are too good to stop production.

Today (12/28/06)I was in the grocery store and found a bag of crispy m&m’s in the back of the store on a shelf, marked down to $1.50.

No way! What store would that be? Also, which state? I live in California and I hope they don’t just sell them on the east coast or something.

Curiosity killed the cat Erin. I’ve never heard of white chocolate M&M’s. I’m not a fan of white chocolate ‘tothe.’ I have tried searching at the 99 cent store(s). They never carry any, at least not the stores near my house. Oh, by the way Erin, are you a cat? I sure do hope so. >;]

We also love those crispy m&m’s. We always put them in our trail mix, which we make every summer when we go camping. It just won’t be the same without those crunchy m&m’s. We’ll try to replace them with something else.

I love cripsy mms.. Does anyone know why they discontinued them? . And by the way if u found a bag somewhere they might be old. Yeah, but no one said they were gonna be discontinued. I think they might’ve sold too many and gov’t made them discontinued them so they didnt become a monopoly. I just hope thats what happend and there wasnt some obscene recall due to people getting sick or anything like that.

Just got back from Belgium/Amsterdam. Crispy MMS were selling in both Belgium and Holland like hotcakes. They are available overseas, why not here? This was written 9/23/07.

Comment by Lori

September 25, 2007 @ 4:37 pm

If they’re for sale overseas, surely someone must be selling them! Still, it would make it so much easier if they were just available in the US more readily! I am determined to find them before my wedding!!

Comment by Waylon Townes

September 25, 2007 @ 4:56 pm

The ones I got overseas were manufactured in a France facility. Each market (Europe, Asia, & Americas) has their own production plants and they taste a little different. In Asia they are manufactured from Malaysia and are readily available. You can order them from eBay at a reasonable price if you are looking to get them in time for your wedding. Congratulations by the way, I hope this helps.

Comment by Lori

September 25, 2007 @ 5:26 pm

Oh, thank you very much!!! ^_^ eBay, huh? I suppose I should figure out how to use it correctly… I’ve searched some, but nothing seems to come up. Perhaps I’m not typing it in right, or I’m in the wrong section of the website… But I will keep looking.

Recently in the US, companies started having to say how much trans fat is in their food. The deadline for putting it on package coincides pretty well with the discontinuation of crispy M&Ms in the US. I would guess that they had so much trans fat in them that they decided to save their reputations by taking them off the market. This is also a good explanation for why they are still around in other countries where they don’t have to say how much trans fat there is.

Hello,
My name is Matt and I’m from the United States and I have one huge question. I was wondering why you took the Crispy M&M Candies off the production line. One day I was thinking about eating the morsels and found they were no longer available. I was devastated and brought up the topic with my friends and family and it was much agreed that they should be accepted. I even talked to my Latin teacher and she agreed how good they were. Not only are they good they are my favorite candy produced by any candy company. You don’t understand how important these candies are for me. I even decided to make a petition to pass around my town today and it was a big hit everyone had fond memories of this candy. I mean they are so good and if you brought them back they would completely outsell all of your other candy. Please bring them back! I will do anything in the world just to have them again. I LOVE THIS CANDY and so does everyone else in the world they are so delicious. I would thank you with the utmost gratiude if it was brought back. If you bring back these candies it would mean the most to me and my town and the rest of the WORLD. THANK YOU FOR THE CONSIDERATION AND I HOPE THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO MAKE THIS CANDY!

Sincerely,

Your biggest Crispy M&M fan Matt Gentile

All I can say is…FRANCE!! I’m currently studying in France and I’ve found crispy M&M’s!! I was stunned! They’re the same, but with a hazelnut flavor. Very similar to Nutella. I too noticed a few years back that crispys were MIA…it’s real sad :0( I’m definitely gonna pack my suitcase full with them!!

o.k. me and my wife norma have so been asking the same question for the longest. before crispy m&m’s i didn’t even like m&m’s that is how awesome they were. my wife loves the peanut butter ones, but every time she gets a bag it just reminds me of how much i wished they still made the crispy ones.

I’m a huge fan of M&M’s Crispy and i live in Greece. I discovered them 3 years ago, i ate them once in a while because they were very addicted! But one day i could find them in the super market and then i read online that they decided to discontinue them. i was very upset and last summer i took the airplane and while i was looking around i found big bags of them! i was so happy! i bought only 2 and them i regret it! i want more! so, i know that only when somebody i know travels, i ask them to bring me a bag! also, at a local super market i found the little bags. but very expensive for the quantity. and i checked the expiration date, they were up to next year, so that means that somebody is producing them normally!

I would like to see Crispy m&ms again. I saw them in about March of 2006 in a vending machine at an ice rink one day, then the next day they were gone and I never again saw them there. It would be nice to see them again.

Well I saw this coming and loaded up from distributors early last year. Still have a few cases in the freezer. Found them in France last year too, but as others said, not exactly the same, hazelnut addition, but close in texture. I have also seen them on ebay from England, but haven’t tried their version to see if they are different. The Mexico angle is interesting, I may have to pursue that.

You can order them online from Europe, but we don’t have them here… very unfortunately! you can totally get them shipped, if you’re up to paying a pretty penny.

i remember when i was four and my family had mounds of crispy m&ms in huge punch bowls for my birthday. it was my first time ever tyring them and they were awsome!!! and since i was was six i always got them but when i turned seven, they were gone. and it is ture that if you put them back on the shelves just for a limited time they would probaly sell millions in the week, plus you would make tons of money! so please bring back the all time family favorite soon!

my dad recently went to England and i asked him if he could try to find crispy M&Ms there. he brought back 2 variety packs, they had 5 chocolate M&M packs (in england there called “choco”) 5 peanut M&M packs, and they also had 4 CRISPY M&M PACKS. my friend and i, (crispy M&Ms were our favorite candy all our lives) were going crazy about them, because we only had 8 packs. so if your looking for crispy M&Ms, and you happen to be in England, MAKE SURE YOU LOOK IN THE ENGLAND AIRPORT because thats the only place you can get them, that i know of.

I just got online to see if I could order some crispy m&ms somewhere but they are really gone. I have been looking everywhere for them for about a year! I even looked at M&M world on times square. My g/f thinks I’m crazy and making them up…. oh how I miss my crunchy m&ms!!!! :(

I am a HUGE crispy M&M fan and was really upset when I couldn’t find them anymore. I have what I like to think the last bag on earth in my freezer and I’m saving it for a rainy day. My boyfriend just recently came back from Italy with two bags of Crispy M&M’s. They still make them we need to get them to bring them back to the U.S.

crispy m&m’s are available EVERYWHERE in Europe. I bought a bunch of bags in the airport in Naples, Italy. Unfortunately, they’re nowhere to be found in the States, at least in my experience.

September 19, 2008 @ 11:42 am

alright i have about 900 boxes of m&m crispy, if you want some order at 214-500-5287. Ask for Rodney, minimum order is 1 box, so that means the first 900 will be able to get them. Pricing is as follows:

1 Box : $49.99
2 Box : $85.99
3 Box : $129.99

Each box contains 45 packages
Because of the scarcity of this product, a 3 box limit per address will be made

I love crispy!! i am so sad they are no longer here. however, i was in ireland recently and they had one of those movie theater sized bags of them in a vending machine. i was sooooooooooo excited. i wish they were back in the states.

Comment by Bob

October 20, 2008 @ 2:58 am

Wow, I was so pissed when they got rid of Crispy M&Ms, they were the absolute best. I remember being able to buy them at consession stands in movie theaters, and I would always buy them despite the inevitable Diarrhea that I would always get at the end of the movie. So, yes when they discontinued them I no longer had these mad dashes to the bathroom after a short periods of time, but now I have to settle for less taste!

November 3, 2008 @ 6:46 pm

I know me and my sister loved those things.I’m so bummed that they don’t have them any-more.They were so good we took them to the movies all the time we take 2 or 3 packs at a time :) that reall blows, but im going to try and find some keep on looking guys im sure we can find some.
Good Luck:)
