Caramel M&Ms are delicious!

  • 7 May, 2017

I’m a big fan of M&Ms but they do come up with some weird flavors. Their newest edition, however, is Caramel M&Ms and they do not disappoint. At first, I thought they were a little weird. M&Ms aren’t supposed to be soft on the inside. That is unless they’re melted, but that’s a different kind […]
