Chocolates, strawberries, and Valentine’s Day go hand in hand. This year, M&M’S brings a new flavor to the classic combination. Love is in the air, and it tastes sweet.

Candy is a popular Valentine’s Day present. Whether it is the gift attached to a small card or a substantial bouquet of chocolates to make a huge statement, the food is meant to express how sweet a person feels about someone else. It could be a friend, family member, or someone special.

As Andreas Fredriksson, Senior Director, M&M'S Digital explained, "M&M'S have been a Valentine's Day staple for decades. This year's M&M'S Gift Guide is sweetening the season with thoughtful, customizable gifts full of our iconic chocolate candies to make this Valetine's Day extra special. With an array of gifts, favors and flavors on MMS.com fans can find something that shows how much they care for all the special people in their lives."

This year, M&M’S added a new, special flavor for Valentine’s Day. Strawberries and Crème transforms a classic flavor into its signature candy.

Bathed in pink candy shells, the combination of fruity strawberries and white chocolate is flirty and fun. On a chilly winter day, it feels like a burst of sweet sunshine.

While these candies are tasty by the handful, there are a multitude of creative food combinations that would make the flavor shine. Playing off the classic summertime treat, serving the candies with a sparkling wine is a sophisticated option. That beverage would be a better choice than a robust red wine.

Also, the candies would be a nice topping for a chocolate cupcake or cake. It could be a fun riff on a chocolate covered strawberry dessert.

In addition to the new M&M’S Strawberries and Cream flavor, M&M’S have a bounty of options to fit any gift giving scenario. From the Mars 2025 Valentine's Bundle to the Heart Shaped Gift Boxes, there is something for everyone.

Plus, do not forget that M&M’S can personalize its candies with photos and phrases. It is the perfect way to say those words that can sometimes be hard to utter out loud.

All the Valentine’s Day offerings can be found on MMS.com and other retailers. Check with stores for availability and pricing.
