M&M Dark chocolate candies are returning this fall as reported at TheForce.net
The candies are already at Target stores in the Halloween section, but I thought that they were just overstock being run out. Nope! This is an official release for the Halloween candy season. YAY! Interestingly, the bags are not available in the individually wrapped Halloween packages.
As I mention in a previous Group29 article,
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of The Sith Food Promotions, I have aquired a taste for the M&Ms regular dark chocolate candies.
Each bag also contains "Galactic Gossip" I have
attempted to log all of the Galactic Gossip I have collected so far.
Here is what TheForce.net relayed:
Masterfoods USA is excited about our promotional partnership with Lucasfilm and STAR WARS as the exclusive confectionery snack sponsor of the sixth and final movie; Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.
The promotion is dubbed, "The Star Wars M-Pire", and for the first time, M&M'S CHOCOLATE CANDIES were made available in dark chocolate beginning in April 2005.
M&M'S DARK CHOCOLATE CANDIES were only available for a limited time and sold out very quickly. The product cannot be purchased via the Internet nor directly from us.
This product will be available again at the end of September through November 2005. As in the Spring, the product will be available in limited quantities at, Target, Walmart and Kroger. We hope you will watch for them.
I will probably pick up several more bags to add to the ones I have already. And I will HOARD them. Unbelievably, they are going for $5.00 to $15.00 plus shipping on eBay! What people will not do....
