M&M's New Creepy Cocoa Crisp Flavor Will Make Your Summer A Little Spooky

I know, I know. It's summertime, and Halloween is the last thing on everyone's minds. How are we supposed to possibly think about anything remotely related to the latter half of fall when we're only just diving into the middle of that hot, sunny season we look forward to all year long?

But hear me out: Halloween candy. More specifically, new Halloween candy. Yeah, not so reluctant to talk about it now, are you?

It may be July, but M&M's isn't just going to sit around and wait til fall to release their brand new Halloween treat.

According to Best Products, the candy company has reportedly introduced a new flavor that's already been spotted on grocery store shelves.

We may not be ready to give up our sun-kissed skin and sandy shoes just yet, but M&M's "Creepy Cocoa Crisp" definitely makes a pretty great case for adopting some Halloween into our summer.

The candy was first spotted by Instagram user @munchiebunchie at Target earlier this week.

From what we can tell based on this packaging, the new flavor has a tasty cocoa crisp center layered beneath some decadent dark chocolate in red, orange, and brown candies.

And if the "creepy" title wasn't enough of a clue that this is meant to be your new favorite Halloween candy, perhaps the iconic red M&M character dressed up as a vampire will be that big hint you need.

M&M's has kept pretty mum on their new candy and hasn't released any official information about it just yet.

So, we really aren't sure how long we can expect this flavor to be available for, whether it'll stay on shelves all the way til Halloween or if we're just getting a sneak-peek before it disappears again.

Hopefully this isn't just a fleeting glimpse at a tasty new candy, but if it is, I suggest everyone take a trip to their local Target and get their hands on a package fast before they're all gone for good.

If the Creepy Coca Crisp flavor isn't your thing, check out these other Halloween flavors of M&M's.

Cookies and Screeem looks like the perfect candy to sink your fangs — I mean, teeth into. There's also a White Candy Corn flavor for all you freaks out there who actually likes the taste of candy corn. You keep doing you.

Or, if you're feeling like you're in more of a Thanksgiving/fall mood than Halloween, try the White Pumpkin Pie flavor to give you those crisp autumn morning feels.
