With Christmas and New Year’s behind us, it’s time to focus on the next holiday ahead: Valentine’s Day. Sure, it might not be everyone’s favorite day — whether you’re single or not — but you have to admit that the candy is a major perk. Head to your local retailer STAT, because Mars, Incorporated’s M&M’s has unveiled a new Black Forest Cake flavor to celebrate the day of hearts.
A typical black forest cake is made with chocolate sponge cake and features layers of morello cherries or cherry jam and whipped cream. It’s complete with chocolate icing to create a decadent chocolatey, fruity bite that can make any special occasion that much better. These elements have been rethought to work in M&M’s candies. You can expect a crunchy candy shell in red, pink, and white colors filled with milk chocolate, black forest cake, and dark chocolate flavors. Who needs an actual slice when we have this?
The seasonal flavor has arrived in stores just in time to kick off Valentine’s Day 2022. So whether you’re looking to fill your candy dish, gift that someone special a festive treat, or upgrade your brownie or cookie recipe to include these candies, it’s clear that M&M’s Black Forest Cake will make Feb. 14 a day to remember.
“NEW M&M’S Black Forest Cake is bringing your favorite chocolate cherry cake to your favorite bite-sized candy! If you love the rich indulgent flavors of classic Black Forest Cake chocolate candy, you are going to LOVE this NEW Valentine’s Day candy,” the description says.
The good news is that you won’t have to look far to find the new M&M’s flavor. The 8-ounce bag is available at a variety of retailers, including Walmart, Target, and Walgreens. Just take a peek in the Valentine’s Day section to start celebrating the season of love in the way it should be: With chocolate.
