Obsessed with Nutella? Hazelnut Spread M&M’s Are Here!
Updated: May 06, 2022Imagine the taste of Nutella, combined with the delicate, candy-coated crunch of M&M's. It's happening!
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). 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 a tasty hazelnut spread. Flavor-wise these M&M’s aren’t quite a Nutella dupe. The spread inside is a bit sweeter than classic Nutella and is a bit more chocolatey—but that’s definitely not a bad thing! And these M&M’s are also a bit larger than the original, about the size of a peanut M&M. To us, bigger, chocolatier M&M’s always are good!
And hey, did you know there’s an M&M’s-inspired spread, too? Here’s where to find it.

Santa’s Stuffed Belly Cookies
I have been seeing "surprise inside cookies" for a few years and really wanted to come up with my own version.

You can exchange the mini cookies for candy or anything you'd like; if desired, you can color the cookie dough red, too. —Crystal Schlueter, Northglenn, Colorado
