Hey guys! Have you seen the exciting news down at your local Walmart store?

M&M’S^® Crispy are back, baby! 🙂

If you’re not familiar with M&M’S^® Crispy, they’re slightly bigger than regular M&M’S^®, but have a crispy wafer centre. Unfortunately, they were discontinued in 2005, but after 10 looooong years, they’re now back again!

And if you’re still watching your weight (umm yeah, I failed my New Years resolutions a long time ago), M&M’S^® Crispy only have 180 calories per bag too. #winwin

I must admit to being a long time fan of the M&M’S^® Crispy variety. In fact, I pretty much love all varieties of M&M’S^®!

I have memories associated to each flavour. too. I tend to eat the peanut M&M’S^® watching movies – they’re like popcorn to me. I’d sometimes have the M&M’S and popcorn!

M&M’S^® Crispy always remind me of car journeys too. I used to get motion sickness and would munch on some M&M’S^® Crispy because they helped curb my hunger, obvs, and the wafer inside helped with my motion sickness.

No car journeys today though. But I will be taking you on a journey to Yumville with these M&M’S^® cupcakes. No need to pack your suitcases though!

I wanted to re-create something a little different with these M&M’S^® cupcakes.

They have M&M’S^® Crispy baked in the batter of a light, fluffy, and indulgent chocolate cupcake. The cupcakes are topped with a silky smooth chocolate buttercream frosting, with another generous helping of crispy M&M’S^®.

In fact, I inadvertently created multi-purpose cupcakes… The well of frosting like of looks like an Easter nest with rainbow eggs. And on a second glance, these cupcakes also look like a rainbow pot of gold perfectly suited for St. Patrick’s day, too!

My kids loved how pretty and colourful these cupcakes are. They were even more surprised to discover the delicious M&M’S^® surprises inside the cupcakes too.

I purchased the bigger share size bag 5oz (141g) from the candy/baking aisle at Walmart as shown below.

However, the smaller [individual] sized Crispy M&M’S^® can also be found strategically located at the checkouts, so be warned if you’re shopping with the kidlets – those checkout walls of candy always have my kids pestering and me hankering for sweets, too!
