“At Mars, we like to say we’re consumer obsessed, and that especially rings true during the holiday season as we look forward to delighting our fans with seasonal twists from fan-favorite brands like M&M’S and DOVE” said Allison Miazga-Bedrick, Senior Director, Mars Wrigley. “No matter what holiday you are celebrating, it’s a wonderful time for people to come together and feel a sense of belonging and enjoying the newest seasonal flavors from M&M’S and DOVE can make it a whole lot sweeter.”A bold twist on classic M&M’S, M&M’S Espresso Dark Chocolate Candies combine a smooth and rich espresso flavor with creamy dark chocolate, coated in festive-colored candy shells, bringing consumers who love the classic pairing of coffee and chocolate a satisfying holiday treat. On the heels of the recently announced M&M’S Caramel Cold Brew, M&M’S Espresso Dark Chocolate Candies is the second coffee-flavored M&M’S innovation. The two flavors were inspired by consumer trends and a nearly 60% increase in sales of Espresso flavored products during the holidays. M&M’S Espresso Dark Chocolate Candies will be available in Share Size (3.14 oz) and Laydown Bags (7.44 oz).

DOVE PROMISES Silky Smooth Holiday Brownie Batter delivers on the classic holiday favorite flavor, featuring a gooey brownie batter-flavored filling inside the brand’s classic milk chocolate shell wrapped in Christmas tree-patterned foil.
