M&M’s have been a chocolate candy staple since the 1940s—and for good reason. The chocolaty, colorful confections work well in so many different kinds of sweets. M&M’s cookies? Of course. The iconic chocolate pretzel rings? Obviously.
You can pour a bag in your snack mix or pop a handful in your mouth. And let’s not pretend we haven’t all poured a bag out and sorted them by color before (orange is clearly the best)!
Now, M&M’s has taken upon itself to create a new frozen treat: mint chocolate M&M’s ice cream cookie sandwiches!
Mint + Chocolate = Best. Combo. Ever.
Listen, if there’s a flavor combo I’m willing to die for, it’s most definitely going to be chocolate and mint. The two complement each other so well—the richness of the chocolate is balanced with a refreshing hit of mint. That’s how I know the latest M&M’s creation is going to be my absolute new favorite.
The classic M&M’s ice cream cookie sandwiches are ridiculously good. The mint chocolate M&M’s sandwiches are a leveled-up version of the original, and they look AMAZING. You’ll find pale mint green ice cream between two beautiful chocolate cookies peppered with plenty of colorful mini M&M’s.
As winter creeps into spring (I can dream!), and the sun begins to warm things up, I’ll probably be eating a box of these a day. No regrets!
Where Can I Find Them?
The frozen M&M’s treats have popped up at stores across the country, but you can most definitely grab a four-count box from Menards for only $3.99. You bet I’ll be buying two or three at a time for that price! It looks like Walmart will have them in stock soon, too. There’s also a double chocolate version (sans mint) available at Walmart for less than $5 for a box, which we have our eye on. If you’re a sucker for all things ice cream and M&M’s, check your local store ASAP. You don’t want to miss this!
The Most Irresistible Mint Chocolate Treats

Mint Chocolate Cheesecake
