A couple of weeks ago, Brent Timm, the host of SnackChat Live, broke the story on the new Mexican Jalapeño Peanut M&M’s on Instagram.
Reactions and comments to the new candy have been mixed, ranging from drooling enthusiasm only a taser could diminish to outright disdain washed down with a big cup of Haterade.
