New Candy Flavors You'll Want to Avoid

Over the past year, a lot of new candy flavors have flooded the market. It seems like all of America's candy staples (Reese's, M&M, Skittles, Musketeers and Snickers) are popping up in new shapes, sizes, textures and flavors. Are they any good? A few are great, but some are not. Here are five new flavors and forms of our favorite candies that you'll want to avoid:

"DARK CHOCOLATE" M&M'S
M&M's have been morphing into a variety of flavors for the past few years. It started with peanut butter and went on to almonds. (Both tasty.) And now, they've added on dark chocolate. How is it? Just okay.

The new dark chocolate M&M doesn't taste bad. It just tastes so much like the regular M&M milk chocolate that you wonder why the producers of this candy even made a new flavor. And truthfully, there is not enough dark chocolate in this new M&M to help anyone's health. So what was the point? It's a marketing scheme gone wrong. Avoid eating this new M&M. Go with the original flavor. It's the best tasting flavor any way.

"CHOCOLATE MIX" SKITTLES
Skittles decided to go against the norm and mix a bag of chocolates. The flavors range from S'mores to chocolate pudding. And guess what? It's awful.

Yes. I said what all lovers of Skittles are thinking, but don't want to say. The creators of Skittles finally found a way to make chocolate taste bad. Hopefully, they'll figure it out soon and take this new mix off the market. It's obvious that only fruity flavors taste good in the form of a chewy table.

REESE'S WHOPPERS
The mixture of chocolate and peanut butter has been the right combination for years in candy. It's what makes Reese's Peanut Butter Cups so popular and one of America's favorite candies. With that thought in mind, I was excited to see a Reese's Whopper. It sounded pretty tasty - that is - until I tasted it.

Yuck. Yuck. Double yuck. This candy tastes like medicine. It is waxy in texture and weird in flavor. The only thing good about this candy is that it is cheap. Take my advice and stray away from this new form of Whoppers. Eat the old chocolate flavor. It's the only one that tastes good.
