Pretzel M&Ms: The Hunt
Sweet and Salty: the combination both soothes and satisfies me. Pretzel sticks dipped in nutella. Caramel ice cream speckled with sea salt. Kettle popcorn.
Finally the combo has gone mainstream: Pretzel M&Ms. I saw the commercials. I read the NYTimes piece. But they remained elusive: in NYC tracking down new products can be tough. Grocery stores are small, and stock space extra valuable. It’s an island: getting things on and off is an expensive battle.
Our son Little M is scheduled to fly in Friday morning: I was at the point of begging him to track some down in Chicago and bring them along as rent. He’s safe: I finally scored a bag on Sunday at my local Duane Reade. They weren’t there last week. But they’re on the shelves now!
The verdict: worth the search. I couldn’t find any small individual portion bags, so I had to splurge on the big bag. I opened it the minute I exited the store. And had to sample several to be sure: pretzel M&Ms are a winner. Sweet, salty, chocolaty, crunchy. They make Moi happy!
Move over, peanut M&Ms: you’ve been replaced.
the details:
- 17 pieces 180 calories
- 30% less fat
- 9.9 oz for $4.29 at Duane Reid
Moi tip: The bright blue bag stands out on the shelf. Track down the small bag. TBG loved pretzel M&Ms too. Now how many calories were there in that 9.9 oz bag…

It is always the little simple things that make me happy. But give me super dark chocolate neat, please. Thanks for the new M&M tip, one never knows when the craving will start. Stay cool.
Gosh, if I had only known … these have been available in CoMo for months now.
I can’t believe you saw a blue bag of M&Ms and didn’t think of Moi. Still on the hunt for the small individual bags… while trying to avoid the large family bags.

I live in Chicago and STILL cant find these. I have been to every grocery store and gas station around me…. nothing…yet I can find a plethora of coconut m&m’s (gross!)
Hi Amanda:
try CVS in Chicago. My Chicago neighborhood CVS stocks pretzel m&ms. I haven’t checked Walgreens yet. They’re really good, so it’s worth the effort!
