Howdy, everyone. Hope you’ve had a nice summer, because now that we’re two months out from October, it’s basically Halloween in the eyes of candy companies. And that’s why I’m here, about to review a spooky tube of Halloween Skittles Littles, when it’s currently 92 degrees outside (and climbing). I mean, thank god these even made it to us in time! September is only three weeks away!
Last year, when we reported on the planned nationwide release of Skittles Littles, we predicted a couple of things. First, we figured that these would taste crunchier than regular Skittles. Second, we thought that they would taste more like the rainbow than ever before. That’s a pretty high expectation to set, but I’m ready. While these mini Skittles have been out for a few months now, we finally had the chance to try them for ourselves—and they came to us in a cute, spookified new Skittles package, too. You know, for that holiday that’s right around the corner?
Now, my colleague Jordan Myrick loves mini M&M’s, claiming “they have a better texture than regular M&Ms.” In fact, mini M&M’s seem to be widely popular for just that reason: the superior chocolate-to-candy shell ratio. So here’s my question: Are Skittles Littles simply an attempt for Big Skittle to capitalize on the success of mini M&M’s? I think so. Do I care? Not really. In fact, I wish them the best. I want these to taste amazing. So let’s see if they actually do.
