A lawsuit was filed in 2024 alleging that Hershey had “falsely marked” some of its Reese’s peanut butter products.
M&M’s fans love putting the candy in their mouths. Now, there’s a new M&M’s candy that literally pops when you put it in your mouth.
The new M&M’s Popped Caramel Candies are M&M’s first freeze-dried candy and are made with “the classic caramel flavor fans love with a new texture that’s unexpectedly light, crispy and crunchy and pops in your mouth,” the Mars Inc.-owned brand said in an announcement shared with USA TODAY.
According to M&Ms, this is a new twist on M&M’s caramel candy, which was first released in 2017, and is “unlike any M&M’s you’ve ever seen before.”
M&M’s newest addition is M&M’s Honey Roasted Peanuts, available in September at select retailers including Walmart and MMS.com.

M&M’s Pop’d Caramel candy will be available in a small 5.5-ounce stand-up pouch ($5.99) on MMS.com and M&M’s TikTok Shop (found on the mobile app) on November 3rd.
The candy will be available in M&M’s stores on November 10th and will be available at retailers nationwide starting in January 2026 (prices may vary by retailer), with additional sizes expected later this year.
