Candy Coats Of Many Colors

Think blue M&Ms are a big deal? Forget it. Last week snackers rejoiced over 18 new M&M colors, including gold, maroon, purple and aqua. Now there are 24 colors in all.

M&Ms Colorworks is the name of this new batch of bonbons that melt in your mouth, not in your hand. You won't find them in a vending Specialty stores carry bins of each color, and shoppers can pick and mix their favorites.
