The Beloved M&M’s Are Back for a Short Period Only

Guess what’s back? After a long hiatus since 2019, the M&M’S Flavor Vote is finally returning, and this time it’s all about dessert. Mars just announced that we get to play flavor judge for their new Bakery Collection—three limited-edition candies inspired by classic American treats. The winner gets a permanent spot in the lineup later this year, which means your vote actually matters. It’s genius timing, too, because nostalgic bakery-inspired snacks are absolutely everywhere right now. Here’s a closer look at the three contenders and how you can make your voice heard.

Peanut Butter Cinnamon Roll

First up is a flavor that sounds like it was made for peanut butter lovers who want a little something extra. Peanut Butter Cinnamon Roll takes that creamy, familiar peanut butter center and adds warm cinnamon notes that actually remind you of pulling apart a fresh pastry. Early taste testers say the balance is spot-on—the peanut butter keeps it grounded, and the cinnamon gives it that bakery-style finish. If you’re already a fan of the peanut butter M&M’S, this one feels like a seasonal upgrade worth trying. It’s out now in single and share-size bags, so you can stock up while you decide.

Cherry Chocolate Cupcake

This one leans into full-on decadence. Cherry Chocolate Cupcake combines rich chocolate cake flavors with a tart cherry kick, and here’s the twist: they’re using both milk and dark chocolate to get that deeper, more complex cupcake profile. It’s inspired by things like Black Forest cake and chocolate-covered cherries, and it shows. The cherry-red packaging makes it easy to spot, and fans are already calling it a more sophisticated take on fruit-and-chocolate combos. If you want something that feels a little indulgent but still balanced, this might be your pick.

Lemon Meringue Pie

Now this is the wild card. Lemon Meringue Pie is bright, citrusy, and completely different from anything else in the lineup. They’re using white chocolate to mimic that meringue sweetness, and there’s a crispy center designed to feel like pie crust. It’s light, zesty, and honestly pretty refreshing for a chocolate candy. If you’re the kind of person who always goes for the fruit dessert over the chocolate one, this is your candidate. It’s fresh, it’s unexpected, and it might just steal the whole competition.

How to Cast Your Vote

Voting is easy and meant to be fun. Just head to MMS.com/vote or scan the QR code on any of the Bakery Collection packages. The voting window is open now and runs through May 15, 2026. To keep things interesting, Mars has brought in some social media creators to campaign for their favorite flavors all spring. The winner gets announced in late May, and that flavor will earn a permanent spot in the M&M’S family starting this fall. So grab a bag, take a bite, and make your vote count.
