M&M's Premiums, a sophisticated alternative to the traditional M&M candy wows the taste buds with complex flavors and delicious chocolate. The raspberry almond variety is a subtle combination of raspberry, chocolate and a crunchy almond. Differing from regular M&M almonds, the Premiums do not have the hard candy shell that coats most M&M's. The Premium in raspberry almond is an exotic, shimmering bite-sized candy begging to be tasted.

The Premiums are not packaged in the usual bag. They reside in a stylish box with peek-a-boo window that showcases the candy. The raspberry almond box is a deep jewel-toned raspberry color and offers the following description of the M&M's Premium raspberry almond flavor, "berry blissful raspberry flavored white chocolate and almond wrapped in dark chocolate." Okay, M&M's had me at raspberry flavored white chocolate!

Through the little, oval box window, the candy is visible. This flavor variety matches the color of the box, a deep raspberry color. Each piece is a speckled with shades of raspberry and signed with the signature "m" that all M&M candies contain. The candies are not loose in the box but are packaged in a bag that can be resealed. It looks like the candy bags found at gourmet candy shops, very elegant with the words, "simply fabulous...always fun."

When the bag of candies is opened, the first scent that wafts out is raspberry. The scent is very tempting and makes one want to eat the first piece. M&M's Premiums can gently melt in your mouth allowing you to taste and savor the various flavors of raspberry, white chocolate and dark chocolate. When the chocolate layers are melted away, you are left with a whole, fresh almond. The almond is flavorful and crunchy. If you choose to bite into the M&M Premium, raspberry almond flavor, the combined flavors are outstanding. Each flavor melds together for a delicious treat that is richer than the candy-coated M&M almonds candies.

M&M's Premiums are available in four other flavors, chocolate almond, triple chocolate, dark chocolate and mint chocolate. Each box contains six-ounces (170.1g). A serving size is about one-quarter of a cup or 42 grams (1.5oz.) Each box has four servings. A serving contains 240 calories and 17 grams of fat but no Trans fat. M&M's Premiums are distributed by Mars Snackfood US, LLC.

A single box of M&M Premiums retails for about $3 at grocers like Kroger's. They can also be found at retailers like Wal-Mart, Target and Walgreens in the candy aisle.

M&M's Premiums, the raspberry almond variety, is a classy gem of a candy that can be offered in a beautiful candy dish at any dinner or even a Holiday party. Because these are M&M's, there is no reason not to treat yourself to a box to make a regular day a bit more special. These gems have elevated the M&M candy to the next level of sophistication but at an affordable price.

The M&M's Premium candy in raspberry almond is a recommended product for anyone wishing to indulge in a chocolate-coated nut candy with rich flavors without having to spend a fortune at a gourmet candy shop.
