Obsessed with Nutella? Hazelnut Spread M&M’s Are Here!

Ah, Nutella…that world-famous hazelnut spread. It’s good on toast or apples or baked into all sorts of delightful desserts. In a perfect world, there would be a way to bundle up the chocolate-y goodness of Nutella and take it wherever you go.

It’s not a dream—because guess what? Hazelnut Spread M&M’s are for real!

Why we love the new M&M’s

The pairing of chocolate and hazelnut is a flavor combo that’s been around a long time. It’s one that we all know and bake with. The most recent M&M’s flavors have been on the edgy side (like Mexican Jalapeño and Orange Vanilla Cream). But now M&M’s has come out with what is sure to be a classic: Hazelnut Spread M&M’s have a hazelnut spread center surrounded by delicious milk chocolate.

It’s not officially Nutella in the center, however, it’s an unnamed “hazelnut spread.” It sounds like we’ll have to do a Nutella vs. M&M’s taste test!

And hey, did you know there’s an M&M’s-inspired spread, too? Here’s where to find it.

Here’s when you can buy the M&M’s

The Hazelnut Spread M&M’s will be available everywhere starting in April 2019. Look for the eye-catching aqua bag! You can buy the new M&M’s in both the regular and Share Size bags plus the Sharing Size Stand Up Pouch, which is a wonderful half-pound of M&M’s.

Buy a bag to snack on, plus a bag of M&M’s to use in these already-amazing M&M cookie recipes.
