Candy Review: M&M's White Chocolate Candy Corn

I hit up the post-Halloween candy sales and came across M&M's White Chocolate Candy Corn in the clearance area. Since we've looked at other M&M flavors in the past – M&M's Coconut, M&M's Mint Crisp, M&M's Wildly Cherry, M&M's Razzberry – I thought I'd give this a quick review.

Of note is that the packaging is designed vertically vs. the horizontal style typically seen in a bag of M&M's. These are obviously targeted at the Halloween market, with the M&M's guy dressed up like a candy corn.

The candy itself has the same shape/style as Peanut Butter M&M's. Circle in shape and plump. The colors of white, orange, and yellow match the look of candy corn. But the taste? Pretty much like eating white chocolate chips… which is kinda gross. Amy thought they tasted like candy corn, but I didn't really sense much of that. Overall, there's an element of fake plastic flavor that just isn't very good. Yuck!

There's a good reason these were on clearance.

It's a Pumpkin Band Leader on Main Street! The area is all decked out for Halloween… and isn't scary at all! I took this photo during a September 2007 trip to Walt Disney World. What's interesting about this scene is that it seems like the skies are going to open up with rain at any second!

Main Street Station is decked out for Halloween in this night shot from September 2007. Note the orange/brown/yellow bunting on the structure, along with the stacked pumpkins in front. The oddest thematic choice, however, was to illuminate the Mickey floral area in neon, with blue and orange light outlining a Mickey pumpkin head.

A September 2007 view down Main Street USA from the train station. There's a parade taking place, and you can see how the various shops are decorated for Halloween. Of course, being from the Midwest, it's rather odd that the trees are still green and there are no leaves to be found on the ground!

It's Halloween at the Magic Kingdom! The Main Street Train Station is all decked out in orange/yellow bunting to celebrate the season. You'll also spot a "Pumpkin Mickey" floral design and various stacked pumpkins on the landscape. Oh yeah, and that's me… fittingly wearing my seasonally-appropriate Clue shirt (who doesn't love a good mystery this time of year?)

This photo was taken during a September 2007 family vacation to Walt Disney World. We camped during this trip and it was very, very warm!
