Salted caramel M&Ms exist and shoppers can’t wait to try them

CALLING all chocolate lovers - M&M's are now available in a brand new flavour, salted caramel.

The delicious treats were launched last week and are available in all major UK supermarkets.

They have the usual chocolate outer layer with a salted caramel centre.

The salted caramel versions are available in a 109g pouch for £2.09, as an 80g treat bag for £1.19 or as a "single" 36g bag for 66p.

These are just the recommended retail prices though, and retailers can set their own prices.

For comparison, a large bag of regular M&M's costs £2 at Asda and Sainsbury's while a treat bag is £1 - the lowest price at the four major supermarkets.

The salted caramel M&M's are 474 calories per 100g.

That makes them the most low calorie M&M flavour available.

Crispy M&M's are 485 calories per 100g, choco M&M's are 481 calories per 100g and peanut M&M's are the highest calorie at 515 per 100g.

A 125g treat bag of peanut M&M's contains 213 calories per 41.6g portion.

So far, we've not been able to spot any for sale online at any UK retailers, so you'll need to head to your local stores to see if you can get your hands on some.

Foodie Instagrammer spotted a pouch on sale in WHSmith, so that might be a good place to start hunting.

They're a limited edition launch and will only be available for a year - so it's worth stocking up if you love them.

And followers of the account were excited about the new launch.

Charlwatson said: "Omg!!!! Yasssss" while DaniKHart replied: "we need to try".

There was some confusion about the sweets as M&M's launched crunchy caramel packs earlier this year.

But the new versions are salted caramel rather than plain and they are smooth rather than crunchy.

Apparently the new arrivals are tastier too. The NewFoodsUK Instagram account confirmed: "They are a billion times better."
