Coconut M&Ms

[jammom]

These are at my Walgreens & Limited Edition-of course I had to try !
Love 'em-not too heavy coconut flavor(smooth) & a bit bigger than reg M&Ms-I used my free coups & $1 off 2 coup(from newspaper) & stocked up !

[rebate queen]

I just tried them a couple of days ago! I love them!:D

[ozziedog]

these are the BEST:D

[atianah]

There are coconut M&Ms? I love coconut. Can't wait to try them. :D

[FreebieFan]

Just had a bag. Yummo :)

[utkd29]

Tried these today!! Loved them :D

[bvanpeltsw]

YUMMY! I will have to try them out! Thank you!:)

[angndan]

I love them! :D

[bvanpeltsw]

Love them! We tried them today!

[SassyJan]

I cannot find these anywhere! I did try the peanut butter and strawberry ones......not really sure how I feel about them yet.

[NancyBJ]

I bought them down at the beach- DD and DH ate them ALL! They loved them... hope they have them when I go back- we don't have a Walgreen's around here. :(

[cmonpelican]

i am a coconut addict, and these were so good!! The small bags were only .69 at my walgreens so the boyfriend bought me like 10 bags yesterday, they were gone before true blood was over lol :D

[Felburg]

I gotta try these!

[dreamweaver236]

those actually sound really good. :D

[puppylover_354]

im getting hungry

[katgirlone]

:confused:I cant find these anywhere! I'm in Western Washington, anyone else from around here know where to find them? I'd really like to try them....thanks!

[jammom]

Walgreens-they're limited edition & I think they're the only ones that have em.

[utkd29]

I actually bought mine at a gas station. They may have bought them at Walgreens and marked up the price at their station. ;)

[SassyJan]

Walgreens-they're limited edition & I think they're the only ones that have em.

I live in a super large populated area and couldn't find them anywhere!!! I contacted M&Ms and they said they were not out in all areas, but they would be in Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens, CVS and all of the other big name stores soon. I finally found them in only 1 Walgreens and we have a Walgreens on almost every block. I thought they were good, but I do not taste much coconut flavor.

[horse-shoos]

:confused:I cant find these anywhere! I'm in Western Washington, anyone else from around here know where to find them? I'd really like to try them....thanks!

I live near Seattle and I can't find them anywhere either- I want to try these so badly that I thought about trying to order them online-LOL!!!;)

[giraf98]

I just tried these this morning! I found them at Kwik Shop. They are sooo good! They remind me of Mounds candy bars. :p

[irishgirl4u2c]

I live in the Orlando area, an we saw these very briefly in early-mid July. Got a couple bags at 7-11, and a couple at Walgreens. Walgreens said they got only 2 boxes of them. Nobody seems to have these, but everybody and their brother seems to have the strawberry/peanut butter ones.

Let M&M/Mars know how much yo like these!!! I sure did!! My mother, daughter, aunt and I think they're the greatest thing sice sliced bread... LOL :D

[SSIAnkie]

I have looked at 6 or 7 walgreens and everywhere I can think of. I only saw a sign at one store, and wouldn't you know it....they didn't have anymore. Grrr

[lauren003]

Found them at Dollar Tree for .50 so I decided to try them. Yum!!

[bvanpeltsw]

Dollar Tree? I will have to look there now!:)

[ilykfields]

I've never heard of these before, but I love the peanut butter M&Ms

[2550]

Went to Dollar Tree nearby. No luck! I am still on the hunt for these!

Looks like two of us. LOL None at my dollar tree either. :rolleyes:

[2550]

Well, if and when I find some, I'll definately share!

[SSIAnkie]

Well, if and when I find some, I'll definately share!

Me too! :) I have my family all looking for them. Hopefully we will find some.

[FreebieFan]

I haven't seem them in any store recently. DH said he thinks they were a promotional item for some movie. Sometimes at dollar stores you find this stuff after the promotion is done because regular stores want to get rid of them.
When Hershey's brought back the Cookies 'N Mint candy bar for a short time; I found it months later at the Dollar Tree.

The strawberry and peanut butter ones were the promotional ones for Transformers, these were just a limited edition and they obviously didn't put out too many. I found them briefly in 2 places, but they only got a few boxes of them. The Dollar Tree still may have some, just can't find them here. I'm on a mission :-)

[bvanpeltsw]

I went to my grocery store today and they had the FULL SIZE bags in the seasonal section with the halloween stuff. I am going back to buy more! YUMMY!!!!

[bvanpeltsw]

bump.....check your local grocery store in the seasonal section.:)

[moms43]

I've been checking my Giant Eagle and WalMart stores and have never seen these. I want them so badly! I'm going to VA for the weekend so I plan on going from store to store and try and locate them down there. No luck near Pittsburgh.

I almost ordered some on ebay!

:)

Oh my! They have them on Ebay? I do have to say they are expensive! I paid $5 for a bag! YIKES!

[TEGS]

Coconut M&M's!
:p
Where where where where?

I've never seen those but my fav Hershey's kiss is the coconut. (closely followed by caramel)

[xjaneex]

Are they chocolate WITH coconut?
Because if they are then I just have to find them.

I saw the strawberry peanut butter M&Ms at a Dollar Tree store last night.

EDITED: Speaking of M&Ms has anybody seen the cute picture ad of the M&M guys dressed up like KISS?

AWESOME!! I wrote to them a few weeks ago and was told that they were limited and no longer being made. My guess is that they got tons of requests and/or complaints that they cannot be found and people want them.

This is good news. Merry Christmas to me!

Thanks for the update...I to have been on a mission for finding these, and no where to be found...will be sure and keep a lookout for these...:)

[jammom]

That is such good news-can't wait to get my hands on these !!! M&M/Mars sure loves it's consumers !

[SassyJan]

I just saw the Coconut M&Ms at one of my Walgreens and now the package does not say "Limited Edition". Looks like they really listened! I picked up 2 small bags.....yeah!!!

[bvanpeltsw]

Believe it or not---I opened a full size bag about 2 months ago and ate about 5 and the rest of the bag has been sitting in my pantry. What is wrong with me?:p;)

[2550]

Consider yourself lucky! They are still not anywhere around here.

[PVUgrad]

OMG! These sound so good. I wonder if I email the Mars company, they can tell me where to find them here in GA?

[SSIAnkie]

If you find out, would you let me know please? They are wonderful and I can't find them here in town, I have looked. Even at the drugstores.... :)

[moms43]

I just saw these advertised on TV the other day. They had a commercial on super bowl snacks and these were pictured. Hopefully we all see them soon. I'm so excited to find these! :)

[PVUgrad]

Shame on them! They are very customer UNfriendly. :mad: If I find them I will let you know which store I got them at. I am still looking.

[moms43]

Still NO where near me that I know of .... :mad:

[2550]

I sure hope these things are worth the hunt! I've been looking for a long time, with no luck either.

Went to Walgreen's and Rite Aid they had tons of Coconut M and M's. Also had Wild Cherry M and M's.

[SSIAnkie]

Went to Walgreen's and Rite Aid they had tons of Coconut M and M's. Also had Wild Cherry M and M's.

:D I found some too, but not at our Rite Aid, or the walgreens that is 30 minutes from me. I found them at a locally owned "country" store. They also had the wild cherry ones. The cherry ones are good (they taste like chocolate covered cherries), but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the coconut! Hope you guys are all finding them too! :)

[moms43]

I still haven't been able to find them anywhere near me. PA is probably one of the last states getting them. I'm not surprised they are plentiful in CA. I broke down and ordered some off ebay at a very reasonable price. I am excited to receive them. I ordered 4 individual packs ... $1 apiece.

[deeann1954]

:eek: I can't find them at my wal-greens.....nobody has them..
so last resort going to call DS in California and have him find them there and
ship them to me.....:D

[SSIAnkie]

Pm your address and I will send you some. :D They are my favorite! And you need to try them. :)

[moms43]

I got my coconut M and M's in the mail today from my ebay purchase! Wow! These are excellent!

I hope I can find them soon near me because I want a big bag!!:)

[2550]

I am in M&M heaven!!! My wonderful SS pal sent me five whole bags of these delicious candies, and I am NOT sharing!!! They were definately worth the wait.

[Cpogie]

I'm not big on Coconut, shredded that is....but I am going to have to look for these and see what all the happiness is all about!!

[SSIAnkie]

No shredded coconut in these. :) I'll send you a pack! I'll get them in the mail on Friday. I won't be going in to town until then. Hope you like them as much as I do. :)

Kim, thank you so much! Can't wait to try them. I love coconut anyway except shredded.

[SSIAnkie]

[bvanpeltsw]

Sheree- I love the York Peppermint version of those! YUMMY!

[jammom]

Since I started this thread,I'm gonna share some even HAPPIER news-
Dear Debbie-
Thank you for your all your "personal campaigning"(that's what I called it-LOL) to keep Coconut M&Ms on store shelves & in the hands of fellow Choco-holics.As you know,many of our flavors are released as Limited Editions with no definite plans,but I am happy to let you know you can expect the 11 oz bags in store for the 2010 Easter Holiday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOO-HOO !!! M&Ms for all !!! (Now I can eat my 3 small bags in the freezer)
Couldn't have done it w/out you all !

[2550]

And if you can't find them, try these!

3223

I tried them, and actually like them better than the M&Ms

[SSIAnkie]

Just thought I would let you ladies know that the Rite Aid Drugstore here in town had the coconut M&M's on sale today when I was there. They were .50 each, down from .88 each. If you have a Rite Aid, you might want to see if they have them. :D

[moms43]

I have been looking at my local grocery stores, WalMart, RiteAid, Kmart, Walgreens..... nothing! Anything near Pittsburgh will be the last to get them. I'm just disgusted. My Giant Eagle grocery store has had them ordered for months!

[ERicap3]

I have been looking EVERYWHERE for these with no luck! And the darn M&M's commercial is on all the time showing a big, white bag at the end of it to taunt me!

[moms43]

I know!! They are pictured on all the Easter M&M ads I see.... they must not be making them fast enough.

[moms43]

Has anyone found the Wildly Cherry M&Ms available? They sure aren't anywhere near me! Their website says a limited edition.

[Felburg]

I finally found these at store near me.

YUMMY!!!!

[jammom]

Not to spoil your surprise package Carol-but I'm sending you 2 bags of Coconut M&Ms !!! We had a 3 boxes of them at my Walgreens & sold out in 1 & 1/2 days.
No Cherry around here anymore-we had them mos ago & I liked them(only tried once)

[bvanpeltsw]

They sell these by the CASE at Sam's.

[SSIAnkie]

They sell these by the CASE at Sam's.

They sell them at my walmart now, in the regular sized packages. They were up in the front of the store with the candy at the cash registers. I just love these! :)

[moms43]

I love the Pretzel M and M's ..... :)

[Tina30219]

I loved them and so did my son. They also have pretzel ones out that are really good as well.

[FreebieFan]

I love the Pretzel M and M's ..... :)

Me too! :)

[lostz]

I like both of the "new" flavors of mm's.

[assimov]

rather have a Mounds

[browneann]

I have never heard of or seen Coconut M&Ms. Is this a regional item?

[mom363546]

I have never heard of or seen Coconut M&Ms. Is this a regional item?

I don't think its regional but.. I'm thinking not all the stores are carrying them. I live in MO and didn't see them for a long time and now there everywhere same deal with the pretzel one I'm just now starting to see them in stores around here.

[sksweeps]

I've never heard of these, I'll have to keep my eyes open for them

[SSIAnkie]

Walmart and Rite Aid here have the coconut ones in the single serving packs. They are on sale at Rite Aid for 50 cents a pack. I saw them there yesterday.

[mspete]

I love M & M's, especially the peanut ones. Somehow the coconut ones don't sound very good but I will have to try them. Will look for them the next time I go shopping.

[SSIAnkie]

:) The first time I tried them, I loved them. I still like them, but I guess since I can find them everywhere I don't want them as much. LOL I think maybe it was the thrill of the hunt. LOL :D

[Cpogie]

Kim, I deleted your offer to that person. Turns out it was a spammer!!

[dboyd001]

..... I have not seen the coconut M&Ms. My son is a major M&Maholic, but he doesn't like coconut. The latest, the pretzel M&Ms he tried but didn't like them though he is a legendary pretzel-lover. Not everything works. I remember white chocolate M&Ms and cherry-chocolate M&Ms many years ago that disappeared as quickly as they appeared.
