@4 That's what I was afraid of! I was hoping they would be full of toasted coconut... but I knew M&Ms would blow an opportunity and just coat the candies in artificial shit.
I had them (NYC) and enjoyed the realistic coconut flavor, but also noticed that no actual coconut was contained within that hard candy shell. As my friend said about the packaging, "Of course the green one is the slutty M&M."
I've had them in Pennsylvania, and I'm a big fan. True, no actual coconut (I was actually hoping for something like a tiny hard-shelled Mounds) but the flavor is convincing, not overpowering. I like the oversized pieces, although it means fewer in the bag, and the limited color palette (white, brown, and green) is not only attractive but also made me sing "You put the lime in the coconut, you drink them both down" all afternoon.
How can they possibly get away with calling these coconut if there's no actual coconut in them? I don't get it. And I wouldn't want to try one. I know! They can change the name to "imitation coconut M&Ms"! That'll sell.
We bought them at the gas station off I-5 exit 63 (Winlock). They were really good. But, yes, the coconut is just "flavoring" at the end of the ingredients list.
Had some a couple days ago in Boston. They were tasty - like mini Mounds bar bites. But sadly without the actual coconut. Just a small coconut core would be sufficient, little Mounds bites. However, if they were wrapped around almonds to make tiny Almond Joy bites... oooh!
Had I known these were available in my state, I wouldn't have paid $13/lb for them at M&Ms World in Vegas last weekend! Damn things melted in the desert heat anyway.
