Caramel M&M's - a gamechanger?

Normally I am not a big fan of candy, but if I am going to have some then I probably go for plain M&M's, Ghiradelli caramel chocolates, rolos, or a 100 grand bar. Something about the chocolate and caramel speaks out to me. If these are as good as I am imagining them to be in my head, I may just have to realign my macros accordingly.

Oh man, this is dangerous...I hope they don't come out in Canada, because then it's game over for me but then again, I hope they do...1

Love chocolate and caramel! It's my all time favorite. I haven't seen caramel M&M's yet but I will have to try them when I do.

gack!! burnt sugar (i.e. caramel) has no appeal to me at all.0

I used to dislike caramel, but have grown to like them in the past few years.. a little too much actually. Those look yummy0

(non-milk) chocolate actually has medicinal properties. carmel? not so much1

Almost all chocolate in the States has butyric acid (look it up) either added or created as part of the process.
It tastes really bad to me.
But wait, it gets better...
Several manufacturers (including Hershey, Nestlé, and Archer Daniels Midland...) even pushed the FDA to allow the use of vegetable oil instead of cocoa butter in "chocolate candy".
Read the labels. If it doesn't say cocoa butter then you are eating cooking oil with sugar added.
So if I am going to indulge, I spend a little extra money (50 cents? $1?) and get real chocolate in the 72% cacao range from somewhere overseas.
Like @Raptor2763 says, I can at least claim some "health benefits"
I never liked "dark chocolate" when I was young because I only tried the vomit-flavored (really, look it up) stuff from Hershey's.
After having the good stuff, I realize why many people like "dark chocolate".2 -
Several years ago, M&Ms experimented with dulce de leche as a filling. It was really, really good as a counterpoint to the chocolate and candy, and I was lucky enough to live in one of their test market areas. I hope that plain caramel is as good.1

Why are they making us wait until May 2017???? I need them now!!2

Well. Stick a fork in me, I'm done.1

Yes, please. Thank you.1

They've had Dulce de Leche M&M's at least since I was in high school (2000-ish) but I know it is only in certain markets (This was in Los Angeles and I found them a few times in Miami). I haven't seen them in a while, but remember they were delicious. I wish they'd just bring those back!0

oh crap, that is going to be hard to resist0

You can claim to be a hyper-palated clean chocolate connoisseur, but I know that both you and Raptor will secretly try them.1 -
going aginst the flow here.
I dont much like caramel things, too sickly sweet to me
Will stick to original M+M's myself- which I do enjoy as an occasional treat.
But all you caramel lovers - enjoy!0 -

I've had gourmet chocolate and I've had Hershey's.
I enjoy them both.
I can detect the butyric acid in a plain Hershey bar, but it isn't overwhelming enough to bother me. If it's paired with other things (like caramel, omg), I can't taste it at all.
Butyric acid is present in butter and parmesan cheese. I love butter. I love parmesan cheese. And I love good ol' inferior American chocolate.2
